Fire blankets can effectively prevent fire from spreading and spreading.
A tragic fire that broke out in a warehouse of a famous supermarket in Taichung caused the deaths of 9 people and 8 people were seriously injured. After investigation, it was found that the incident occurred because the workers did not lay a welding fire blanket during welding, which caused high-temperature sparks to fall and come into contact with flammable materials, causing a fire. This fire once again reminds us that fire is a potential threat that can occur at any time. It has also become a wake-up call for society to pay attention to fire safety, allowing us to re-examine the dangers of fire and preventive measures, especially the process of spreading from a small flame to a large fire, and how to use fire prevention equipment to reduce casualties and losses.
The process of a fire from a small flame to a major disaster
According to experts' analysis, the initial stage of a fire often starts with a tiny flame, and as time goes by, if it is not controlled in time, the fire may spread rapidly. This warehouse fire is an example of this. It may have been a small fire source at first, but once it was not effectively controlled, it quickly developed into an irreversible disaster. The rapid spread of the fire posed great challenges to the escape time at the scene and the response speed of firefighters.
Importance of fire prevention awareness
From this tragedy, we see the huge losses that may be caused by lack of fire prevention awareness. Whether in homes, commercial places, or public facilities, the installation and maintenance of fire safety facilities cannot be ignored. Improving the fire response knowledge of all employees and the public and conducting necessary fire safety training is a normal task that should be carried out in every place.
The installation and importance of fire blankets
In such fire incidents, how to respond to the fire quickly is one of the keys. As a simple and effective fire prevention device, fire blanket plays a vital role in extinguishing fire sources in the early stage.
Effectively prevent the spread of flames The core function of a fire blanket is to inhibit the spread of flames. It is made of special flame-retardant materials that can withstand high temperatures and isolate fire sources, reducing the risk of fire spreading from one area to other areas.
Prolong evacuation and rescue time In the early stages of a fire, a fire blanket can slow down the spread of the fire, buy precious time for personnel evacuation and fire rescue, and reduce the possibility of casualties caused by the fire.
