To recognize a dangerous fire, you must pay attention to some signs that are happening to recognize the fire. However, do you know those signs yet? Here are 5 signs of fire shared by S-TEC VINA
Signs of fire
Sign 1: Pay attention to alarms and surrounding surveillance devices
The first sign that you can observe if a fire breaks out in another area inside the building is the sound of the alarm bell and the monitoring devices. Normally, thanks to these two alarm devices, you will be able to extinguish the fire before it spreads, thereby saving the whole building and the lives of many people. Even if you detect the fire too late, you will have just enough time to get out of the building. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically check the devices and alarm bells regularly and regularly. At the same time, you need to replace the batteries for devices that have run out of energy.
In a building’s safety regulations, alarms and surveillance equipment are mandatory and must be in good working order at all times. If they are not, your building can be heavily fined and even cause panic among residents.
Sign 2: Smoke
The most obvious sign of a fire is smoke – as the saying goes, “There’s no smoke without fire.” If you see a fire outside your front door, grab a wet towel and block the space around the edge of the door to protect yourself from the smoke until you can get help or escape if you can find a safe exit. Smoke always hangs above you, so if you have to go through a smoky room, crawl as close to the floor as possible. Also, cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel as you escape.
Sign 3: Sense of smell
Even if you can’t see the fire, you can smell it. Smoke has a distinct taste and smell, and everything around you is potentially flammable, so if you can smell it before you see the fire, you’ll have a better chance of getting out.
It is no coincidence that your pets can smell smoke from a fire before you can. Dogs in particular have an extremely good sense of smell, so you need to pay attention to their behavior and learn to recognize it because it can warn you early about possible dangers.
Sign 4: Noise
If you are a deep sleeper, then the above warnings may not wake you up. However, loud noises such as people screaming, sirens blaring or parts of the building collapsing are a big sign that danger is near.
Sign 5: The door or door handle is hot
The easiest way to tell if there is a fire is to touch the door, so feel the door carefully to gauge how bad the fire is outside. If it feels hot to your hand, there is a good chance that there is a fire outside your door. The same goes for touching a doorknob; make sure you use the back of your hand to check. Hot doors can burn you – if you burn your hand, it could be difficult to climb out and escape.
