Q: |
How electric appliances are used to avoid disastrous events |
|
A: |
1.If that no-fuse breaker is suddenly disconnected and fuses melt to disconnect, as often happens, ask professional technicians to check and repair them.
2.When not using electrical appliances, turn off at the source of electricity, leaving then the spot so as safe.
3.If electrical wires unfortunately have a short circuit, cut off the source of electricity immediately. Before the source of electricity is cut off, do not use water for extinction, so as not to cause electrical conduction.
4.Do not tie up extension wires or over-long electricity wires (this will probably cause fire because of storing up heat). Also do not use electricity surpassing the proper load.
5.Check at any time whether electricity wires have any damage.
6.The plug of the electrical appliance should be tightly plugged in. If it is loose, high heat and sparks can possibly result.

Q: |
In case of a fire, what are the rules that must be noted for fleeing? |
|
A: |
Do not panic in case of a fire. Generally speaking, there are three kinds of fleeing situations: firstly, escaping from a disaster; secondly, waiting for rescue; thirdly, no rescue can be expected. The ways for survival are detailed as follows:
1. Escaping from a disaster
(1) Do not use an escalator. Go for the escape stairs according to the emergency direction signs.
(2) Cover the mouth and nose with a wet towel or handkerchief. This may avoid the attack of the smoke. Then flee along the wall.
(3) Take a low crawling posture in strong smoke: There is residual air in space below 30cm from the floor in a fire. Attention should be paid to the convenience and speed of crawling.
(4) Use a transparent plastic bag for survival: Take a 100cm long and 60cm wide plastic bag. Spread it open and fill it with air, cover the whole head with it and flee towards a safe direction.
2. Waiting for rescue indoor
(1) Use escaping equipment, including rope, jack ladder, escape sling, rescue bag, etc.
(2) Use plastic cloth or wet towel, bed sheet, clothes, etc. to stuff edges of the door. Ventilating intakes of the central air conditioning system should also be stuffed to prevent smoke from coming in.
(3) Try every means to tell people outside your location to wait for rescue.
(4) In case you are unfortunately trapped in a room, go to the place near the balcony or window to wait for rescue.
3. When no rescue can be expected
Never give up the will of survival even when no rescue can be expected. Stay calm in this case, make use of the articles or the landform or things on the spot. Try your best to escape.
(1) Roll up bed sheet or curtain within the room into a rope shape, and tie up the ends to make an escape rope. Tie one end of the rope to a pillar or fixture within the room, and throw the other end out of the balcony or window. Climb down for escape.
(2) Climb down to a safe floor or the ground using the drainpipe outside the house for escape.
(3) Never jump down from height, because jumping down will cause death or serious injury. Stay in the room quietly and try your best to avoid the attack of the fire or smoke. Wait for the rescue of firemen.
