The weather on the days before Tet is often dry, with a high risk of fire and explosion. In particular, these days people burn incense, votive paper, etc., which pose a high risk of fire and explosion. Therefore, complying with fire and explosion prevention measures is very important and urgent, especially on these days.
Immediately save the following fire and explosion prevention measures for the Tet holiday season.
1. Strictly manage fire and heat sources: When cooking, burning incense, lighting candles, burning votive paper…, using heating devices, repairing, constructing, welding, and cutting… (causing fire and heat sources), there must be someone watching;
2. Arrangement of incense burning and worshiping places must ensure fire safety such as:
- Incense bowls must be placed on non-flammable or difficult-to-burn equipment.
- Flammable incense items (such as votive paper) must be kept away from the incense bowl.
- When burning incense, there must be someone watching until the incense ash is gone.
3. Burning votive paper must be in the right place:
- Do not burn votive paper in houses, hallways, business and service stores, on sidewalks on streets, or places with large crowds of people and vehicles passing by.
- Before burning votive paper, you must choose a place sheltered from the wind, or use an incense burner, with measures to prevent the wind from blowing the embers to surrounding areas and causing a fire (use incense burners or tops made of non-flammable materials to burn votive paper and place them at least 2m away from flammable goods).
- When burning votive paper, someone must watch until there are no more embers, and arrange a fire extinguisher or bucket of water.
- After burning, let it cool completely before pouring out the ashes.
4. Arrange items, goods, and flammable materials neatly, tidily, and at least 0.5m away from sources of fire and heat (such as electrical cabinets, electrical outlets, etc.);
5. Each household should proactively prepare an escape plan in case of fire, and plan other escape routes besides the main door such as balconies, loggias, terraces, roofs, and neighboring houses;
6. When a fire occurs in a household, stay calm, think carefully, and shout the alarm to let everyone in the house know so they can quickly move out. When escaping through areas with smoke or fire, use a soft towel soaked in water or a gas mask to cover your face and body; absolutely do not hide in rooms, bathrooms, etc.; At the same time, immediately notify the Fire Police force at the toll-free number 114.
7. Replace conventional doors with specialized fire doors to ensure safety for the whole family before an unexpected incident occurs.
