Through methods such as introducing typical fire cases, illustrating common fire safety hazards, providing legal education, and detailing fire suppression techniques as well as self-rescue and mutual-help strategies, we can effectively enhance everyone's fire safety awareness and practical skills.

Fire Incident Reminders

As China's social and economic sectors rapidly develop, densely populated areas and large-scale, complex buildings are steadily increasing—along with the growing number of fire- and electricity-related hazards that could lead to disasters.

In 2022 alone, the number of fires nationwide has already exceeded Starting from 800,000 , property damage 7.16 billion , the death toll 2053 people , all three indices reached new record highs this year.

And sometimes, a major fire can occur due to just one instance of carelessness or a moment of inattention. Therefore, Safety in production starts with the smallest details—preventing fires before they "ignite" is the key!

Common Fire Safety Hazards and Legal Responsibilities

Smoking in no-smoking areas, failing to promptly turn off sources of fire, electricity, and gas, illegally extending or connecting electrical wires, and improperly using open flames for work—these are all common fire safety violations in daily household life and factory production, often resulting from careless mistakes that can easily lead to fires.

Once a fire occurs, regardless of whether it results in significant damage—or even if the cause is negligence or a violation—you will be held legally accountable. Penalties may range from fines and detention in minor cases to criminal charges in more serious instances.

Initial Fire Response and Extinguishing Methods

In our daily lives, if we notice a fire has just broken out, how should we respond and handle the situation?

Stick to one principle:

Early detection, early alert, early response

Stick to three steps:

Quickly call the emergency hotline, evacuate trapped individuals, and extinguish the initial fire.

Fire extinguishers and fire hydrants are extremely common firefighting tools in our daily lives, but do you know how to use them correctly?

Use Fire extinguisher At the time, remember the operational mantra: Promote, grip, and press (Promote me, please!) ~

The operation and use of fire hydrants also have a mnemonic— Swing once, catch twice, twist it all the way down. ——Shake off the water hose, connect one end of the hose to the water gun and the other to the fire hydrant outlet. Finally, turn the valve counterclockwise until it’s fully closed, then aim the nozzle directly at the fire source and begin spraying.
