With the growing number of high-level urban buildings, high-level fires, owing to their difficult nature of evacuation and the high risk of rescue, are a major risk to the safety of people's lives and property。
High-level households are required to comply strictly with fire safety regulations, not to divert electrical lines, not to use high-power appliances, and to close power and gas valves when leaving their homes. The stacking of miscellaneous items, the parking of electric vehicles or the charging of electric vehicles is strictly prohibited, maintaining the evacuation routes and safe exits. Fire-fighting equipment such as fire extinguishers, emergency flashlights and smoke masks should be provided at home, with a good command of the method of use。
Periodic checks of electrical circuits, gas pipelines, etc. At home are carried out on a daily basis to detect ageing, deterioration, etc., and prompt replacement. Do not place flammable explosive articles outside windows and on the balcony and use the open fire far from the flammable material. Property companies should strengthen the maintenance of high-level building fire-fighting facilities, conduct regular fire-fighting patrols, ensure the proper operation of equipment such as fire bolts and automatic fire alarm systems, and organize regular fire drills for residents。
In case of fire, it is essential to remain calm. Call 911 immediately to report the location of the fire, its condition and the number of people trapped. Cover your mouth and nose with wet towels, bend low and follow the evacuation signs and do not take the elevator. If it is not possible to escape in time, it is possible to retreat to the room with the windows, close the door, and close the door with wet cloths, pending rescue。
Fire safety is minor, and preparedness is critical. Together, let us increase fire safety awareness, consciously observe fire safety regulations, develop good safety habits, work together to create a safe, harmonious and habitable living environment, and safeguard ourselves and the lives and property of others。
