Cause of Wuyishan fire

The May 1 factory fire may be caused by improper operation of employees.

For the cause of the fire, the local fire department said that it may be the negligence of employees, which led to the high temperature. The fire department suggested that it is necessary to strengthen the safety awareness education of employees and regularly check the operation of equipment to avoid such accidents. Regarding the countermeasures, the local authorities indicated that they would intensify the inspection of the factory environment to ensure safe production.

A large number of toxic substances are used in the production process of this enterprise, and the toxic gases are not effectively controlled; In addition, the staff accidentally produced smoke when dealing with waste pollutants, resulting in indoor air circulation and fire alarm. There are a lot of flammable and combustible substances in the factory building where the fire broke out, including paint, finished wooden doors, raw materials and packaging materials. This burning load is very large, which is one of the reasons why the fire has not been extinguished for a long time and the internal search and rescue has not been carried out.

Fire escape method

1. Use doors and windows to escape. Wrap a quilt, blanket or mattress in water, and tie one end to a door, window, pipe or other solid fixed object with a rope (sheets and curtains can be torn into strips instead), and tie the other end to the ribs and abdomen of the elderly and children, and put it on the ground along the window, so that others can slide down along the rope.

2. Use the balcony to escape. The balconies of adjacent units are connected, which can break the partition and enter another unit to escape. When there are no connected balconies, but the distance between balconies is close, indoor bed boards or door boards can be placed between balconies for bridging.

3. Use space to escape. When the indoor space is large and there are few combustible materials, clean up the indoor combustible materials, clean up the adjacent indoor combustible materials at the same time, and close the doors and windows communicating with the combustion area to prevent smoke and toxic gases from entering and wait for rescue.

4. Use the time difference to escape. When the fire is closed, people should first evacuate to the room farthest from the fire to gain time, prepare escape equipment and use doors and windows to escape safely.

5. escape by pipe. When there is a downpipe or water supply pipeline on the wall outside the room, people with ability can use the pipeline to escape. This method is generally not suitable for women, the elderly and children.
