Recently, I saw a news report about a fire in a small factory. It recorded how the staff handled the fire in three minutes. It was a very small fire, and the fire extinguisher was about 50 meters away. The staff had to use clothes to put out the fire. In these three minutes, the fire became more and more serious, and eventually the whole factory building was on fire. In fact, there are many such cases. Many people may don't know how to use a fire extinguisher, or they may be suddenly nervous and don't know how to deal with it. Today, let's learn some fire fighting knowledge with Yize mould.
Dry powder fire extinguisher
When putting out a fire, the fire extinguisher can be carried by hand or on one's shoulder to rush to the fire site quickly, and put down the fire extinguisher about 5 meters away from the burning place. If it is outdoor, spray in the upwind direction.
1. If the dry powder fire extinguisher used is of external storage type, the operator shall hold the spray gun tightly with one hand and lift the opening lifting ring on the gas cylinder with the other hand. If the opening of the gas cylinder is hand wheel type, it should be turned anticlockwise to the highest position, and then the fire extinguisher should be lifted. When the dry powder is ejected, it is quickly aimed at the root of the flame.
2. If the dry powder fire extinguisher used is of built-in gas storage bottle or pressure storage type, the operator shall first pull out the safety pin on the opening handle, then hold the nozzle at the front end of the spray hose, and press down the opening handle with the other hand, and open the fire extinguisher for fire extinguishing. When the fire extinguisher or pressure storage fire extinguisher with spray hose is in use, one hand should always press down the handle, and can not release it, otherwise the spraying will be interrupted.
Foam extinguisher
1. Portable use method: the lifting ring on the upper part of the cylinder can be carried to rush to the fire scene quickly. At this time, attention should be paid not to make the fire extinguisher too inclined, not to take horizontally or upside down, so as to avoid the mixing of the two agents and spraying out in advance. When it is about 10 meters away from the ignition point, the cylinder can be reversed. One hand holds the lifting ring tightly, and the other hand holds the bottom ring of the cylinder body to aim the jet at the combustor.
2. Cart type operation: when using, two people are required to operate. First, push and pull the fire extinguisher to the fire site and stop at about 10 meters away from the fire point. After one person releases the spray hose, both hands hold the spray gun and aim at the burning place; the other hand wheel is rotated anticlockwise to raise the screw rod to the highest position to open the bottle cap fully, and then dump the cylinder backward to make the pull rod touch And rotate the valve handle 90 degrees to spray foam to extinguish the fire. If the valve is installed at the spray gun, the person in charge of operating the spray gun shall open the valve.
In case of fire, you need to calm down and see what is on fire and how the fire is. Then call the fire alarm and report the detailed address. At the same time, the most important thing is to prevent fire, pay attention to the safe use of electricity, timely replacement of aging lines, do not throw cigarette butts. Let's work together to eliminate the safety risks around us and pass on the fire prevention knowledge to our colleagues and family members.
