[Firefighting hotspot] A family of three uses methanol for heating? ! It's very hard to get warm in winter

In addition to snowing and cooling, various “heating artifacts” such as air conditioners, heaters, and electric blankets are used to protect against the cold. However, these warming items bring warmth and they are buried once they are used improperly. Under security risks. Since the winter, due to the frequent occurrence of accidents caused by improper heating, this article will take stock of common accidents in winter heating and see which heating methods are not desirable.

Type of accident: Heating causes fire

ACCIDENT

Recently, a mother in Xi'an Yanliang District took a bath with her two children in the shower, and lit a small amount of methanol in a bath to warm it. When methanol was added to the bowl again, the resulting plastic bucket was ignited. A violent explosion occurred instantly, causing the two children to burn very seriously and one person was in critical condition.

Heating Mistakes

Methanol is a product with a relatively large potential for safety hazards, but some households are completely unaware of their harmful existence and do not regret it until problems arise.

Countermeasures

In the daily heating, we must avoid the use of methanol and other products with relatively large potential safety risks; heating equipment must be away from flammable and explosive materials, people should not cut off the power when leaving; if it is the use of electric blankets and other heating at night, the best Turn on for a period of time before bedtime and close it before going to bed to avoid accidents at night. In addition, the quality of heating appliances on the market is currently uneven, and many “three nos” products are blended into them. The use of these inferior products is not standardized, and there is a high potential for accidental combustion or explosion during use. Pay attention to purchasing regular products.

Type of accident:

ACCIDENT

January 7, Hubei Enshi a rented room with baking oven heating, carbon monoxide poisoning killed three people, killing two people were killed and one person is in the hospital.

Heating Mistakes

In order to keep out the cold in winter, some residents will close doors and windows and heat and burn household charcoal, wood, or honeycombed coal. Due to insufficient oxygen supply, these materials generate a large amount of carbon monoxide gas when the combustion is not sufficient, and the ventilation of the room causes a large accumulation of carbon monoxide, which causes serious damage to human body tissue cells, especially the cerebral cortex. Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. Many people did not realize the problem in the early stages of poisoning. When they became aware, they often had weakness or even fainting.

Countermeasures

Every year, carbon monoxide or coal-fired heating causes accidents caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. Residents are advised to avoid this type of heating as much as possible.

Type of accident three:

ACCIDENT

Recently, a female white-collar worker in Wuhan posted a warm baby to sleep at night. As a result, his belly was blistering.

Heating Mistakes

The above case is typical of "low temperature burns." The so-called low-temperature scald refers to the scald caused by touching a low-heating object that is higher than body temperature for a long time. In winter, hot water bags, electric blankets, warm baby, etc. are inexpensive and convenient to use. Heating products are popular. Many people hold the hot water bottle for a whole night and the skin stays at high temperature for a long time. Burns, the frequency of such accidents in the elderly and children have been high.

Countermeasures

When using heating equipment, it is necessary to avoid prolonged contact, especially when the elderly and children use the heating products such as warm water bags. It is best to add a layer of insulation after the skin and heat source, such as using a thick towel to cover the hot water bottle, etc., and then use it; the heating product should be suspended when charging, and the power plug should be unplugged promptly after charging.

Type 4 of accident:

ACCIDENT

A 9 -year-old child had cracked lips and dark red face when he woke up in the morning. At the same time, a pool of blood was still found on his pillow.

Prolonged use may cause excessive water loss in the body and cause problems such as itching of the skin and bleeding from the nostrils.

Countermeasures

In the use of heating equipment should pay attention to control time, to avoid prolonged heating in the environment, but also to avoid excessive heating temperature. During the use of heating equipment, it is necessary to replenish the body with plenty of water, drink plenty of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, eat less spicy foods such as hot and sour, and in addition, use appropriate amounts of moisturizing body care products to enhance the skin's replenishment. Water lock function.
