How to pay attention to the safety of electricity and fire in winter

Tips for autumn and winter: Pay attention to the safety of using fire and electricity.

In autumn and winter, the temperature drops sharply, and electric blankets and heaters are used in the home one after another. However, with the increase of electricity consumption in the home, the fire hazards also increase. Here, remind residents to pay attention to the safety of electricity consumption in autumn and winter.

First, avoid piling up sundries in front of and behind the house, balconies, corridors and other places.

Citizens should stay away from flammable materials when using electric heaters, blankets, electric stoves and other equipment to keep warm.

Second, we should regularly check the electrical wiring at home and replace the aging wiring in time.

Household appliances should be placed in damp-proof, sun-proof and ventilated places, inflammable and explosive articles should not be stored around them, and all kinds of sockets should be far away from fire sources. When using household appliances, it is necessary to correctly standardize the use according to the instructions and put an end to all kinds of illegal and out-of-range use. When using gas and liquefied gas, always check whether there is leakage in stoves, valves and pipelines. Attention should be paid to the usual maintenance of liquefied gas stoves, and timely maintenance should be carried out in case of pipeline damage and air leakage.

If liquefied petroleum gas cylinders are used, they should be stored in a well-ventilated place in the kitchen, not in the owner's room, restaurant and other places to prevent high temperature and direct sunlight. Stairs, balconies and other passages at home should be cleaned up in time when sundries are piled up.

Third, smoking, especially in bed, is also an important cause of fire.

According to statistics, fires caused by smoking account for about 29% of family fires. In daily life, some people like to smoke in bed or on the sofa, especially in the case of drunkenness or excessive fatigue. People fall asleep or feel groggy before they finish smoking. Once cigarette butts and soot fall on bedding, clothes or sofa, it is easy to cause fires.

At the same time, because it is dry and windy in autumn and winter, if you throw unlit cigarette butts and matches into flammable materials and waste paper baskets, cigarette butts will burn slowly, and a fire will happen if you throw them casually.
