The Fire Protection and Rescue Police of Da Nang City Police have rescued 3 people trapped in the burning house to safety. The "culprit" who caused the fire is no stranger.

It is known that the fire broke out at 23 pm on October 5, as soon as the fire was discovered on the 1st floor of the house, Mr. N.T.A's family ran to the 2nd floor of the house and called on neighbors to respond.

Residents who heard cries for help and found the fire coming from the house No. 41 Dao Tan (Binh Hien ward, Hai Chau district) should report to the authorities. At the same time, Patrol Team 8394 of Binh Hien ward was present to break down the door and use a fire extinguisher to control the flames.

As soon as they received the news of the fire, patrol force 8394 of Binh Hien ward arrived at the scene, broke down the door and stormed the house, using a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. At the same time, the Police Team of Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue of Hai Chau District Police sent 2 fire engines and many soldiers to organize the rescue. The Fire and Rescue Police used a ladder to bring 3 people on the 2nd floor of the burnt house to safety.

At the time of the fire, the fire arose on the 1st floor, so it was difficult for professional firefighters to access. In addition to organizing the deployment to extinguish the fire, the police of Hai Chau district deployed ladders to the 2nd floor to rescue 3 people who successfully escaped. After 30 minutes the fire was completely extinguished.

About 30 minutes later, the fire was completely contained. The initial cause was determined to be an electrical short.

The fire caused no loss of life. The damaged property was decorative cabinets under the stairs.

Currently, the fire of houses and apartments is taking place unpredictably and brings a lot of damage to people and property. Therefore, equipping knowledge about fire prevention and fighting is extremely urgent for every resident and family.

In particular, short circuits are the leading and most frequent cause of fire and explosion. To avoid risks, in the process of installing an electrical system at home, you need to pay attention to the following:

Electrical conductors: Electrical conductors must have a cross-section sufficient for the permissible current to pass through the wire greater than the source current and load, at least twice as much to avoid overload. Good quality inner copper wire is reddish-yellow, glossy and soft. Conversely, if the copper wire is of poor quality, it is black yellow in color and brittle when bent. If the conductor is used underground, it must have at least 02 layers of insulation and must be threaded in fireproof plastic pipes. Do not let electrical wires touch the iron, touch the air conditioning block, do not leave electrical wires near cooking ovens, gas stoves, heat generator appliances.

Circuit breakers: Every home should install a circuit breaker, aptomat, or quick-cut relay behind the galvanometer. All circuit breakers and fuses must have covers. Check automats regularly. When repairing electricity in the house, it is necessary to cut off the circuit breaker, inform everyone so as not to close the electricity unexpectedly. It is best to ask someone with electrical technical expertise for repairs to avoid the risk of accidents or short circuits causing fire after closing the circuit breaker.

Electrical shorts leading to house fires are something no one wants. But to avoid risks, every family needs to be equipped with knowledge about using electrical appliances safely to minimize damage if any.

When there is a case of an electrical short-circuit causing a fire, it is necessary to immediately cut off the circuit breaker, alerting everyone to exit the house. If you are sure no one is left trapped in the house, use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. At the same time, pre-install the phone number 114 on the phone so that in case of need, call the fire police for assistance.

Install smoke alarms in many locations in your home so that when an incident occurs, you can completely eliminate the risk of fire death in your home. You should check your fire alarm batteries regularly to ensure your fire alarm equipment is always in good working order. Usually 6 months you should replace the battery 1 time.

Never use water to extinguish fires caused by electrical shorts. While waiting for firefighters to arrive, sit low to avoid inhaling the smoke. If the clothes catch fire, then roll around to the ground to extinguish the fire.

Every family should equip a CO2 fire extinguisher to extinguish fires when unexpected fire incidents occur.
