How do various countries in the world pay attention to the fire protection of family houses

In recent years, there have been 6 to 7 million fires worldwide each year, with residential fires accounting for more than 80%. According to a survey, more than 75% of the 600-700 people who die in fires in Germany each year are due to residential fires, and more people are injured. The number of deaths in residential fires in the UK each year is roughly the same as in Germany, but as many as 1,500 to 2,000 injured. In order to detect residential fires in advance and take timely measures to control and ensure the safety of residents' lives and property, the International Fire Protection Technical Committee urgently calls on fire departments of various countries to take measures as soon as possible to strengthen residential fire safety.

There are many stoves in Japan, mainly gas stoves, oil stoves, electric stoves, etc. In recent years, a large amount of fried food ingredients such as cutlets and patties have been put into the Japanese market. They can be eaten after being fried at home, but the fires of animal and vegetable oils for fried foods have also increased. Secondly, fires in electrical facilities, fires such as smoking, burning articles, and children playing with fires also occur from time to time. According to statistics, there are more than 20,000 fires per year in ordinary family homes in Japan, accounting for about 32% of the total number of fires. In view of the frequent occurrence of domestic fires, fire authorities have taken some corresponding fire prevention measures:

Seven prohibitions on the establishment of household fire protection. No smoking or throwing cigarette butts while sleeping; children are not allowed to play with matches, lighters, igniters; items are not allowed to be burned in windy days; cooking, especially fried foods, are not allowed to leave people; flammables are not allowed to be stacked around the house Combustibles are not allowed to be placed near the stove; pots and pots without water are not allowed to be burned empty.

Organize women's fire club. At present, there are women ’s fire clubs in the streets of Japan, where housewives can learn fire prevention knowledge and the ability to extinguish the initial fire. In this way, housewives can pay attention to fire prevention, and can take emergency measures in case of fire, which can be regarded as the backbone of fire prevention in the family.

Organize inspection of household electricity facilities. Household appliances in Japan have reached a considerable degree of popularity, and there are many types, and the electrical fires caused by them also continue to occur. In the prevention of electrical fires, in addition to emphasizing the correct installation and use, it also organizes streets and electrical institutions to inspect the wiring in the home and the flexible cords of connecting equipment. If it is found that it has aged and has lost its insulation performance and is improperly installed, replace Or reinstall according to the regulations to ensure the safety of electricity.

Promote and gradually popularize household fire protection devices. The Japanese fire department is adopting various measures to promote and popularize the installation of gas leak alarms in homes. In some newly built residential houses, the gas alarms are installed during construction, and the cost is spread among the gas construction costs, and there is no need to live. To buy. For other households, a simple small gas alarm with low price and good performance is popularized. In addition, a simple fire alarm and small household fire extinguishers are also promoted.

Develop towards the family's incombustibility. In Japan, some products with fire resistance have been developed to enter the home, including curtains, bedding, cushions, furniture, etc. But it is not required to provide all the equipment, but according to the needs and possible, targeted equipment. For the elderly living alone without care, the above fireproof products should be adopted as much as possible. Even the pajamas they wear should be considered non-combustible, so as to reduce or avoid casualties caused by fire.

During the Christmas period in 1987 and the King ’s Cross Underground Station in London in the United Kingdom in 1987, several fires were educated from the opposite side, which greatly enhanced the citizens ’awareness of fire safety and deepened the understanding of people in the community to promote the use of residential fire smoke alarm devices At the same time, it also played a role in changing the operating conditions of the residential fire smoke alarm device market.

According to an article published in English, it turns out that British residents are not very positive about installing and using residential fire smoke alarms, and the dealer counter business is sluggish. After the end of 1987, residents took the initiative to purchase installers, and even installed fire and smoke alarm devices became one of the basic contents of real estate operators selling new houses.

The change in the installation of residential fire smoke alarms in the United Kingdom in recent years is also an important factor that cannot be ignored, that is, the price drop is large. This makes ordinary families affordable and willing to buy.

The power supply and method of residential fire smoke alarms in the UK have also changed in recent years. It turns out that the power supply of this kind of alarm device is powered by a common zinc-carbon battery single power supply. Due to the short battery replacement cycle, some of the replacements are not replaced in time, resulting in about 30% of the alarm devices should be operated but not operated. The year before last, two companies in the UK jointly launched a lithium battery. This battery can be used for 5 years under normal circumstances, reducing the cost of replacing the power supply and reducing the proportion of invalid batteries. At present, there is another type of residential fire smoke alarm with AC and DC dual power supply on the British fire safety product market, and its safety guarantee factor and economic savings are more "definite".

The grand goal of the British Ministry of the Interior ’s TV campaign is to continue to carry out in-depth publicity and vigorously mobilize the public to install residential fire and smoke alarm devices until all urban and rural residents in the country are widely used.

About 80% of fires in the United States (more than 40,000) occur at home every year. According to estimates by the American Fire Protection Association, each family member will encounter at least two serious fires in his life. The place where the fire took place has adopted special fire prevention measures, and has achieved obvious results. For example, the roof is made of materials with good fire resistance such as concrete slabs, thin iron plates, bricks and tiles; where there is a heat source, flammable materials should not be stored within 1 meter. In addition, the chimney should be cleaned regularly to keep it clear; ensure that the hallways, other rooms and bedrooms on each floor, and the aisles and stairs are unobstructed and equipped with smoke alarms to facilitate escape in case of fire; conditional families An automatic thermal spray system is also installed in the walls and ceiling; no matter the size, be sure to write down the house number outside the yard, the more conspicuous the better, so that the fire brigade can find it quickly and accurately in the event of a fire; Hold a barbecue picnic or campfire party, try to stay away from the house as much as possible.

The most effective way to prevent domestic fires in the United States is to install small automatic fire alarms and automatic sprinklers in homes. Households using gas have to install gas leak alarms. According to statistics, about 75% of urban residents have their own automatic fire alarms, automatic fire extinguishers, and gas leak alarms.

Promoting flame-retardant clothing and bedding is also a great way to prevent fire in American homes. The US law expressly stipulates that the clothes worn by the elderly and children and the bedding and bedding they use must be made of flame-retardant fabrics. The fire authorities also continue to promote common sense of fire prevention and the essentials of escape during a fire, and warn people not to take into account household treasures in case of fire. It is most important to escape in time. In addition, the United States also holds a large-scale "Home Fire Prevention Week" event every year.

In Germany, 600 people died in residential fires throughout the year, with more injured. According to investigations, 3/4 of the dead were not directly burned to death by fire, but were suffocated or poisoned by smoke and various poisonous gases in the fire. It is also learned from the fire investigation that most residential fires occurred suddenly at night when people were asleep and insensitive to smell. Because these fires are coming fast and spreading rapidly, it is difficult to control after only 30 seconds. After 5 minutes, indoor items will be burned and people will be injured. Although residential fires are so dangerous, residents still do n’t know enough. The fire department ’s recent survey of 2,000 households found that: 53% of households rely on neighbourhoods for alarm; 23% of households rely on self-raising animals for alarm; 15% of residents rely entirely on firefighters to rescue people and put out fires. When firefighters inquired about the reasons for installing fire alarms in residential houses, 33% of residents said that no one was smoking in their homes, so they did not use fire alarms. Faced with the German residents' ignorance of residential fire prevention work, the German Fire Protection Association first notified the fire departments at all levels to send residential fire prevention experts and many firefighters to widely publicize the importance and necessity of residential fire prevention and specific measures to residents. At the same time, it also cooperated with the legal and insurance departments. Since 1999, the family property insurance department has funded the mandatory installation of fire alarms for each residential house. Since then, the number of residential fires has been significantly reduced. According to research, the four corners of the bedroom are the best place to install a fire alarm. In order to meet the needs, the German fire protection technology department has recently developed ICU new residential fire alarm equipment. This equipment not only detects smoke, fire and abnormal temperature, but also prompts alarm signals for abnormal smells caused by food burning and electrical short circuit fires. . In addition, it can be used as an alarm to prevent criminals from entering the room when used in conjunction with contact breaking alarm devices.

All in all, home fires are more serious, but as long as you are cautious and take some effective measures, home fires can be avoided.
