In the daily life of residents, cooking and boiling water are used in the kitchen. The kitchen is also the place where fuel, cooking oil and gas are used in the most places. The Beijing fire reminds residents that their friends must do a good job of fire prevention in the kitchen.

First, the kitchen fire hazard

There are many fuels. The kitchen is an open fire site. The fuel used is generally liquefied petroleum gas, gas, natural gas, carbon, and alcohol. If it is not handled properly, it can easily cause leakage, combustion, and explosion.

Smoke is heavy, and the kitchen is relatively humid all year round. Under this condition, non-uniform combustion and fumes generated during fuel combustion are easily accumulated to form a certain thickness of combustible oil layer and powder layer attached to wall flue and fume smoke. The surface of the machine may cause fire if it is not cleaned in time.

The hidden dangers of electrical circuits are large. There are a wide variety of kitchen equipment. The use of fire and electricity equipment is concentrated, and the kitchen is relatively humid. Improper use of equipment can easily cause short circuit in electrical circuits.

Improper use of oil is prone to catch fire. Cooking oil is a common phenomenon caused by high oil temperature or improper operation. This can cause hot oil to splash out of the oil pan and cause it to catch fire. Improper fire fighting can cause fire.

Second, kitchen fire prevention measures

The kitchen doors and windows are kept ventilated. Once there is harmful gas such as natural gas and carbon monoxide in the room, they can be promptly discharged, thus eliminating the risk of explosion poisoning.

Regular inspection, ground maintenance, often check the natural gas pipelines, gas pipeline valves, stoves, water heaters, such as connecting hose is fixed, there is no leakage point. Find problems and promptly notify repairs.

Do not stack flammable materials around the stove. Do not put flammable combustibles such as plastics, firewood, and rags around the kitchen stove.

When people go off and use gas, someone must take care of them to prevent the fire from boiling out and extinguish the fire, causing gas leaks and fire or explosion.

Educate children not to play with gas appliances, so as to avoid forgetting to turn off the switch or twist the switch and cause air leakage, resulting in dangerous accidents.

Third, regular inspection of safe electricity

The kitchen appliances are operated correctly, and the safety of the kitchen electricity needs to ensure that the appliances can be used normally. Idle or air burning will accelerate the wear and aging of electrical appliances, so for most kitchen appliances, avoiding idling (such as juicers) and air burning (such as microwave ovens and rice cookers) is the most important part in use.

Check the electrical circuit of the kitchen regularly to avoid the exposed and wet wires. At the same time, use high-power electrical appliances as much as possible to avoid overloading the power supply. Rice cookers, electric casseroles, induction cookers and other portable appliances, after use, except to turn off the switch, you should also unplug the plug to prevent the switch from malfunctioning. Because prolonged power will damage the appliance and cause a fire.

Fourth, how to save the kitchen fire

Gas fire fighting, household kitchen plumbing and liquefied petroleum gas in the event of a fire, in the absence of igniting other combustibles and other kitchen appliances, can quickly use the hands of wet towels, fire blankets and other items, cover the cylinders and pipes to catch fire Point to prevent the burned arm and immediately close the valve, cut off the gas path, and then eliminate the remaining fire.

Heat the pan over the fire, turn off the heat, cover the burning pan with a lid, or cover the burning pan with a large wet rag, and be careful not to leave gaps when covering. If the kitchen has cut vegetables or other foods, pour it into the pan along the edge of the pan and use the temperature difference between the vegetables, the food, and the cooking oil, so that the oil temperature in the pan quickly falls.

Do not use water to save the pan when it is on fire! Because the water encounters high-temperature oil, it will form a "fried pan" and splash oil everywhere.

The electric apparatus is used for fighting fires. Before the fire is extinguished, the main gate shall be pulled down for the first time. If only the electric appliance is found to be ignited and smoke is emitted, the fire will self-extinguish after the power is cut off; if the wire insulation and the combustible material of the electric device casing catch fire, dry powder is used. Fire extinguishers can be used to extinguish the fire if there is no fire extinguisher. Before the main switch is pulled down, water must not be used to save electrical fire.
