"Small fire kills people" fire general characteristics
"Small fire kills people" Fire accidents often have small overfire area, small economic losses, and relatively few affected households and people, but they cause deaths and have common characteristics.
First, it is seasonal. Spring is the peak season for "small fires to perish". The spring monsoon is strong and dry, and the fire is used more and electricity is used. The frequency of fires is consistent with the law of high total amount.
Second, it is a high incidence during night sleep. In spring, human organisms are dormant and are sleepy, and their physical alertness and vigilance are reduced. The ability to warn fires suddenly during night, especially during deep sleep, is very likely to cause "small fires to perish".
Third, the area of overfire is small, and it is mostly concentrated in the living area. "Small Fire Death" The fire burns small area, small economic losses, and mostly occurs in the places of residence of people. This is the common feature of this type of fire. Because it is concentrated in living areas such as the bedroom, personal safety and unhealthy lifestyles can easily induce fires.
Fourth, most of the affected people are vulnerable. According to statistics from previous years, vulnerable groups under the age of 14 or over 60, with disabilities or mental illnesses, are the main affected groups. This type of person is prone to deep sleep in a state of sleep, and his ability to deal with disasters is relatively poor than that of ordinary people. He lacks the necessary common sense and ability to escape and save. Especially if the widowed, widowed, orphans, elderly, weak, sick and disabled people lack supervision, they are more likely to become victims of the death of the fire.

The second is to use fire and electricity safely. Pay attention to using stoves correctly and opening windows frequently. When cooking in the kitchen, you should pay attention to "use fire and never leave people, and leave people without fire."

Remind the elderly to clean up combustible debris in time, not to pick up waste at home, not to pile up debris in the evacuation passage, park electric bicycles, etc.
Fourth, learn to escape successfully. homes should be equipped with common tools such as fire extinguishers, fire blankets, escape masks, rescue ropes, etc., so that the whole family can learn the correct escape method; be proficient in common escape knowledge such as wet towels and gas masks. In addition, children should teach the elderly some knowledge about fire prevention and self-rescue.
