A fire broke out on the building of "City-In-City" on Fu North Road, Yancheng District, Kaohsiung City in the early morning of today (14th), killing 46 people and causing serious injuries to 41 people. After the news was exposed, it caused all walks of life to pay attention to the use of fire safety instructions and related escape knowledge. The Fire Department also issued a special document to convey the public's correct fire prevention knowledge.

Regarding the concept of fire prevention, the Fire Department stated through a facial text that the public should remember the words "3 habits, 4 solutions, and 5 notes". Among them, the three habits refer to the habit of burning, electrical appliance use and smoking, such as keeping "people leave the fire" during cooking, not exceeding the load of the electric vehicle, and properly handling the tobacco pedicles; and the four solutions include the households installing fire alarms, firearms, planning escape routes in advance, and building fire-proof environments, such as avoiding the stacking of combustible materials, and using flame-resistant materials for decoration.

As for the last five, when you encounter a fire, remember not to clean up your property, do not take the elevator, do not hide in the bathroom, do not forget to wake up your family and report 119, and do not delay the escape time; the Fire Department emphasized that the public should master the above principles for preventing fires in residential areas in order to protect themselves and their families in times of emergency.

In addition, since many people still install barrels and gas at home in Taiwan, the Fire Department recently issued a statement about the "Using wet towels to cover fire" that was transmitted online. The Fire Department said that when a gas barrel accidentally catches fire, the best way is to turn off the gas barrel immediately to block the fuel supply to reach fire, or move the gas barrel to an outer space as much as possible. If it cannot be closed smoothly, it should be evacuated and reported as soon as possible.

As for the installation of gas, the Fire Department also reminds that it is best to operate the gas barrel by professionals and follow the three major steps. 1. Turn off the gas barrel opening and surrounding fire sources; 2. After the replacement is completed, it is necessary to confirm whether it has been connected and close; 3. Use soapy water to apply on the place where the adjuster is connected. If bubbles occur, there may be external ejaculation. Close it immediately to avoid disaster.
