According to Jiangsu Public News Channel "News 360" report: Safety and stability work is connected to thousands of households, and it is better to be tight for a hundred days than to be loose for a day. The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Emergency Management and Jiangsu Public News Channel jointly launched a series of reports on Su Xiaoji's safety, allowing emergency knowledge to enter thousands of households. The kitchen uses more fire and electricity, which is a high-risk area for fires. Moreover, because there are many combustible and flammable materials accumulated in the kitchen, it is extremely difficult to extinguish once the fire catches. Let’s learn about kitchen fire prevention knowledge together, solve safety hazards in advance, and learn how to deal with kitchen fires.
[The six most common dangers in oil, gas and electricity concentration]
In daily life, the kitchen is the place where the most open flames are used, such as cooking and boiling water, and it is also the place where fuel, cooking oil and gas are placed the most, so the kitchen has always been a high-incidence area for fires. There are six major safety hazards hidden in the small kitchen.
The first is that the oil pan catches fire, ignites the surrounding food and oil, which is also the cause of fires in most kitchens. The second is that flour explodes . When flour and milk powder are poured, the powder spreads into the air and reaches a certain concentration. If a trace of open flame is encountered, it will cause an explosion. The third is that no one looks at the fire and leave when using the open fire. The fourth is gas leakage and a ignition and explosion occurs. The fifth is the accumulation of oil and dust. If the range hood, flue, etc. are not cleaned for a long time, the oil and dust will spread on a large scale after being ignited. The sixth is to put frozen food in the oil pan. The water and ice in the food will quickly turn into water vapor, which will boil the oil pan and quickly ignite when it falls on an open fire.
[The oil pan immediately blocks the air when it catches fire and should always have fire extinguishing equipment]
What should I do when the oil pan catches fire? Many fires caused by fire from oil pans are caused by improper operation. On September 2 this year, after an unattended oil pan caught fire in a hotel, the hotel staff tried to blow out the fire with their mouths, and then failed to do so and tried to cover it to extinguish it, but the flames continued to burst out from the gap. Seeing that the fire weakened, the staff went to work at the stove next to them again. After dozens of seconds, the fire expanded instantly. Only then did the hotel staff realize the seriousness and took out the fire extinguisher in panic to extinguish the fire. However, as the fire became increasingly large, extinguishing the fire was useless, and thick smoke quickly filled the entire kitchen. Finally, the nearby minifire station members arrived and put out the fire. Firefighters remind that the key to solving the problem of fire in the oil pan is to block the air as soon as possible and prevent the low fire from getting bigger.
Mei Liang, a fire propagandist at Nanjing Fire Rescue Detachment, said that everyone knows that covering the pot can extinguish the fire can suffocate and extinguish the fire. You can also pour the vegetables prepared on the edge of the table into it. At this time, you should remind everyone not to use water to prevent the fire in the oil pan, because water and oil do not melt, which will cause the flowing fire and will be even more dangerous.
It is best for families and catering units to have fire blanket and fire extinguishers, and use it in time during the low-fire stage.
[Flour and milk powder are flammable and explosive, and stay away from the stove when poured]
Precautions should also be given to flour, milk powder and other powder in the kitchen. When a large bag of flour is packed, or when it is temporarily used for dumping, there will be a lot of dust, and a blast may occur if an open flame is encountered. Yangzhou Fire Department conducted an experiment on this. When a bowl of flour was thrown, it was quickly ignited when it encountered an open flame, and the flames fluttered in the wind. Milk powder, soy milk powder can also burn, and the fire is larger than flour.
Wu Feifei, head of the News and Publicity Section of Yangzhou Fire Rescue Detachment, said that milk powder and soy milk powder contain certain starch and sugar, which is more likely to burn.
In the closed space, after the flour dust reaches a certain concentration, it explodes when it encounters a flame, and the surrounding combustible material devices are also burned in an instant.
Wu Feifei said that flour and milk powder, such combustible dust, are fully mixed with air. If the concentration reaches the concentration of the combustible dust explosion and encounters sufficient ignition source, it is very easy to explode.Due to poor ventilation in confined spaces, the dust concentration is easier to reach the interval concentration. Therefore, during daily use of homes or restaurants, you must pay attention to maintaining ventilation to avoid the rise of combustible dust such as milk powder and flour, and mix with the air. At the same time, you must be kept away from heat and fire sources when using it.
The kitchen should be kept ventilated; reduce flammable and combustible materials near the stove; the kitchen fire is always kept, and someone must be taken care of when using open flames; the stove and oil smoke pipelines should be cleaned regularly to avoid open flames or high temperatures Mars jumping into the oil smoke pipeline and causing fires; when a fire occurs, while ensuring your own safety, you can try to use fire extinguishing blankets and fire extinguishers to extinguish primary fires. Once the fire spreads, you need to escape as soon as possible. At the same time, call the 119 fire alarm number in the safe area.
