The liquid leakage of a gas tank in Hanzhong met with high temperature and spontaneous combustion, and the fire was rapid. How to put out the fire scientifically?

According to the news, a fire broke out in the home of a villager in Bashan Town, zhenba county, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province around noon on August 3, 2022 1 1. This resident has a barbecue oven converted from a long-term abandoned gas tank at home. The residual gas in the gas tank flows into the furnace where the water is boiling, and it burns immediately due to the action of gravity. Fortunately, the owner found it in time and no casualties occurred.

Indeed, due to the hot weather, many electrical appliances or open flame equipment in the home are prone to fire. Then, what we need to do is not only to prevent the fire from happening, but also to put out the fire scientifically when it happens. Next, let me talk about how to put out the fire scientifically.

First of all, we must judge the size of the fire. If the fire is very big or we can't control it, we need to call 1 19 immediately and tell us the specific occurrence, fire location and fire point. At the same time, close the gas gate and switch.

Secondly, if there is a fire caused by oil during cooking, we can put it out with a pot cover or a dry powder fire extinguisher before it gets bigger, and at the same time turn off the main gate of gas or natural gas. Remember not to use water to put out the fire, because if you use water, not only can you not put out the fire, but it will even make the fire worse. If electrical appliances catch fire, put them out with dry powder fire extinguishers. Remember not to use water to put out the fire, it is easy to leak. At this time, we will also turn off our switch.

Third, when the fire is wrong, leave the scene in time. Don't stay too long because of the belongings at home. When an object burns, it will produce a lot of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which will affect our breathing. Staying there for a long time is not only easy to miss the chance of escape, but also will affect our health because of breathing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide for a long time.

Usually, if you have little knowledge of fire fighting in the community or work unit, you should watch carefully and prepare for it. You can also prepare a small fire extinguisher at home.
