Fire Safety Tips

Posted on Sunday, July 25th, 2010 at 6:31 am

Does your family know what to do in case of a fire? Every family member should know. Role playing is a good idea to ensure that children remember what to do in case there ever is a fire. This can give them ideas about what to do if the only way out was engulfed in fire. If the house is covered in smoke this could help them to know about crawling on the floor to keep from inhaling the smoke. Another tip is to have all necessary equipment in case there ever is an emergency. Two important things to have are a first aid box and an automatic fire extinguisher. When small fires start it can be put out quickly with the automatic fire extinguisher, but if you have to call the fire department it might spread quickly and become much more than a small fire. Fires can become very large in a short period of time, so every family should definitely have a large automatic fire extinguisher. Following these tips could help save your families lives or save your house. Make safety a number one priority in your house today! Isn’t it worth it?

A small device can avert major accidents!!

A foam fire extinguisher is a small protective red colored device that is installed in the buildings, hospitals, cinema halls, malls, hotels, offices, etc. to control small fires. Though it is generally intended to be used in emergency situations, it may also be used to hit someone as shown in movies. It works on a simple principle that there are four things that need to be present where ever there is fire- oxygen, heat, a fuel and a chemical reaction. If any of these things are removed, the fire can be extinguished. There are generally two types of foam fire extinguishers being developed- water and foam based that eliminates the heat or oxygen, necessary for the chemical reaction thereby ceasing the fire and ensuring the complete safety of the place of installation. For better results, there should be an annual maintenance for the mountable foam fire extinguisher installed and an expertise should be allowed to handle and use it.

House Burned

Posted on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 at 10:33 pm

In 1986 while I was preparing for my wedding, my fiancé’s house burned to the ground. Of course, everyone was devastated. A couple of years later, his Aunt lost her home in a fire caused by her dryer. These two incidents taught me the importance of preparedness and how important having afff fire extinguishers and smoke detectors in your home really is. I now work around some highly flammable materials and have undertaken training in the proper use of new afff fire extinguishers. I feel that it is important for everyone to know how to properly use a fire extinguisher and every home should have at least one.

Take Precautions

Fire safety means precautions that should be taken in order to reduce or prevent any damage to the property and livelihood. Fire safety should be preplanned and it should be practiced routinely. The house should be equipped with Wet chemical fire extinguishers and also a lot of sand in order to stop the fire when it comes. The large wet chemical fire extinguisher is filled with nothing but halogenated alkane composition selected from the group consisting of 2, 2-dichloro-1, 1, 1-trifluoroethane (CHCl2 CF3), 2-chloro-1, 1, 1, 2-tetrafluoroethane (CHClFCF3), 1, 1, 1, 2-tetrafluoroethane (CH2 FCF3), and mixtures thereof. Fire is really dangerous and the contents used for stopping the fire are equally dangerous. Please keep the wet chemical fire extinguishers out of reach of children.

Are you and your family fire safe this summer?

We’ll, if you’re behind like most of us you need to get on top of it, for you and your loved ones. First you will need a family plan of exactly what you’re going to do when your alarm suddenly goes off. Before you make your plan you will make sure you have the necessary supplies just in case the flame is small enough to capture before spreading. You will need to go to your local department store to pick up a fire alarm and lightweight water fire extinguishers. Once you pick these up, now it’s time to go home and teach your family about fire safety. Install your new alarm and set it off, see what your family does. If they just sit there, then you are going to need a very good plan. If they run out of the house, I’m sure you can make a more organized plan. You need to make sure your family runs to the nearest door, leaving behind everything but the clothes on their back. This needs to be done humanly without the older sister jumping over the little brother so she can get out faster. Just keep practicing till you know your family is fire safe.
