A fire broke out at Foeryan Wharf in Banan District, Chongqing. How to eliminate fire hazards in high temperature and dry environment?

On the morning of August 23rd, 2022, a fire broke out at Foeryan Wharf in Banan District, Chongqing. The fire broke out in an open yard, and there was a warehouse next to the yard. The fire at the scene was fierce and spread to the surrounding area, and the black smoke produced by the burning slowly rose. Local firefighters and rescuers quickly rushed to the scene for disposal. At present, the open flame has been controlled and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Hot weather is more likely to cause fires in our homes and even around. This is why we should be more careful to prevent fires in our homes or the surrounding environment, which will not only threaten our lives, but also lead to some unnecessary property losses. So, how to eliminate fire hazards in a high-temperature and dry environment? I think we can start with the following points.

First of all, we need to investigate possible security risks in time. We need to check whether there are open flames or inflammable and explosive materials around. Especially in places where electricity is used more, it is necessary to investigate the fire caused by short circuit of electrical appliances.

Second, prepare fire prevention tools. Whether at home or at work, try to prepare fire fighting tools. When a fire breaks out, it can be controlled in time. The initial fire situation will not be particularly serious. As long as the fire is found and put out in time, it is not easy to go wrong.

Third, play the knowledge of how to put out the fire correctly on the bulletin board of the community or the display screen of the supermarket. And remind the surrounding people that the weather is dry, and don't leave the fire at home, forests and other places that are easy to catch fire. If there is an open flame, it needs to be put out at the first time. Especially some people who like smoking, it is best to throw cigarette butts in containers filled with water.

Hot weather itself is prone to fire, and now it is dry and seldom rains, so the probability of fire will greatly increase. It is precisely because of this that we should regularly check the wiring at home and turn off the power supply when going out to prevent the electrical appliances from burning for a long time.
