Question
Answer the following question in brief:
Mention any three safety measures against fire.
Solution
Few safety measures against fire are :
- Every one should be acquainted with the common fire safety norms.
- We should take some time out to find out about the different
kinds of fire extinguishers and the correct one to use in case of a fire. Fires are of different origins and we should make an effort to know more about this and the right extinguisher to use. - While entering a public place such a cinema hall or auditorium, we should make note of the fire exits and all other possible exits.
- If a fire were to break out, we should avoid using the lift as a means of escape.
- We should undergo training in first-aid in case of a fire and ways to put out flames.
- If we light a matchstick to light a candle or the stove, we should also make sure that the matchstick is properly disposed of.
- We should always turn off the knob of our LPG cylinders when it is not in use. We should also always keep a kitchen window open so that any inflammable gas can dissipate instead of accumulating in the kitchen.
