How should we view the use and popularization of fire extinguishers in households? Just in case!

Many people know that fire is actually one of the most common disasters. When it comes to fires, many people will share a lot of common sense about how to deal with them. Some people can even talk about it with great clarity and even act more professional than some firefighters! So, is it true, as common sense suggests, that one's life safety can be guaranteed through some simple escape measures in case of fire?

In fact, the answer is no! Many simple escape measures cannot fully guarantee the personal safety of the affected people. It should be made clear here that this does not entirely refer to a specific period of time. Many people know that some functions of a gas mask can be achieved by wetting a towel. However, this function actually cannot play a significant role in a fire scene. The large amount of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, high-temperature particles and a series of other toxic and harmful gases present at the fire scene do not have a good blocking effect on wet towels. Especially, the two gases, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, cannot be blocked by a wet towel at all. Then, some people ask, if it's of no use, why do we still promote such common sense? In fact, it's quite simple. You don't have to die ten times to avoid survival; instead, you have to die nine times to avoid survival. In a fire scene, even measures with a 0.1% chance of your survival should be applied to him.

Many people know that fire prevention is simpler than fire extinguishing! When a fire really breaks out, there are few chances to put it out. Then, how to extinguish fires in their infancy becomes particularly important.

Nowadays, many families have begun to be equipped with household fire extinguishers. This is actually an enhancement of safety awareness, which is a good thing! But how to choose these fire extinguishing equipment? Many people can't explain it clearly. Today, the editor will introduce several common types of fire extinguishers to everyone.

Dry powder fire extinguisher

Dry powder fire extinguishers are the most common type of fire extinguisher and also the cheapest one. Generally, they can be divided into two types: one is the ABC fire extinguisher, and the other is the BC fire extinguisher. The main difference between these two types of fire extinguishers lies in that ABC contains ammonium phosphate salt, while BC contains sodium bicarbonate. Here, the editor still needs to remind everyone that the raw materials of these two types of fire extinguishers are highly corrosive. Do not spray them at people just for fun. Once there was a young man who, for fun, sprayed a dry powder fire extinguisher at the groom's wedding. As a result, the marriage didn't go through and he was sent directly to the hospital. The principle of dry powder fire extinguishers is actually to put out fires by suppressing or isolating them through chemical reactions. Therefore, this type of fire extinguisher has certain limitations. It does not play a significant role in the ignition of oil.

Carbon dioxide fire extinguisher

Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are also known as dry ice fire extinguishers. The main principle is to extinguish fires through low temperatures and air isolation. It has a wide range of applicability and good extinguishing ability for oils, general household appliances, etc.

Foam fire extinguisher

The principle of foam fire extinguishers mainly lies in the isolation of air. Compared with other fire extinguishers, its operation is relatively more troublesome. The internal materials need to be fully reacted by the inverted method. Foam fire extinguishers also have a wide range of applications.

Water-based fire extinguisher

Water-based fire extinguishers are new types of fire-fighting equipment developed in recent years. It has excellent applicability in fire extinguishing. It can be said to be the most versatile fire extinguishing equipment among all fire extinguishing devices. Moreover, this type of fire extinguisher has excellent environmental friendliness and safety. In a fire, this type of fire extinguisher can also be used as a protective film. It can be sprayed on the body to achieve a certain protective effect.

In today's era where safety is increasingly emphasized, when it comes to fire prevention, it is essential to be prepared for any eventuality. Therefore, families that have the means should still be equipped with some fire extinguishing equipment just in case!
