According to the Fire Department, 10 thousand fires are recorded all year round in the State of São Paulo and many of these occurrences could be avoided with minor care. In order to avoid domestic fires, Péricles Mattos, executive director of Bonpet Brasil, a company that operates in the field of fire prevention and engineering, has listed five tips to stay tuned at home:
Do not overload
In environments such as the living room or bedroom it is common to use a miniature plug to connect several cables, however, they consume a lot of power at the same time at a point that may not be able to withstand high electric charge.
Never get distracted by hot oil pan
The kitchen is one of the rooms where most fires occur. One of the most dangerous involves the pan of hot oil which, when overheated, can catch fire. Important tip: Never use water to try to contain the fire, as thermal shock can cause an explosion.
Check for gas leaks in the residence
To avoid accidents with gas cylinders, make sure that the hose and clamp are tightly fitted, and that both must be replaced every five years. If you smell gas, walk barefoot to avoid friction, turn off the main switch and open doors and windows. Never attempt to light a light bulb in the residence, as the spark produced may cause an explosion.
Not all materials should go to the microwave
When preparing food in the microwave, especially the pre-ready, be sure to remove any foil or any other type of metal. These materials should never be placed inside the unit.
Care redoubled with candles
All care is welcome when you have candles burning at home. In addition to placing in a fixed place in which there is no possibility of the overturning of the sail, it is also necessary to keep it away from materials with easy combustion, such as paper, wood and fabrics. It is always worth remembering that the candles should be erased before the residents sleep.
