When a fire occurs due to electricity, quickly turn off the main circuit breaker, notify everyone around, report to the Fire Police and use on-site fire fighting equipment to extinguish the fire.
Do not use water to extinguish fires before cutting off the power. Each household should be equipped with 1 to 2 portable fire extinguishers using gas to extinguish electrical fires when they first occur.
Regularly check electrical connections
Regularly check the connections of the electrical system (switches, sockets, junction boxes, connections on the line). If there is a spark, they must be separated from the power source and repaired or reported to an electrician for repair.
For electrical equipment such as cars, motorbikes, etc., when brought into the garage or house for overnight storage, the electrical equipment should be turned off and the key removed from the socket to prevent short circuits and fires.
Do not place flammable substances near electrical equipment
Lighting equipment must be installed on specialized hangers, not hung directly by wires. Do not use combustible materials such as cotton, cloth, etc. to cover light bulbs.
Do not place flammable substances (gas, gasoline, oil, paper, etc.) near electrical equipment and appliances (lamps, irons, electric stoves, electrical outlets, electrical panels, etc.). Do not install electrical outlets in toilets or bathrooms.
Cooking and using electricity must be supervised by someone
To limit the risk of fire when using equipment such as irons, electric stoves, and electric resistance heating devices, someone must be supervised or the devices must be equipped with an alarm system.
Do not let children, the elderly, or people with poor eyesight, or people with mental illness, etc. use electrical equipment or appliances in the house.
Do not hang clothes on electric wires
Do not hang clothes, scarves, hats, or pictures on electric wires and electrical panels. Do not plug the wire directly into the socket. Do not use nails or steel wire to tie the wire because the contact point will be corroded. Do not thread the wire through thatched roofs, corrugated iron roofs, or connect the wire arbitrarily, or leave the wire joints exposed.
Repair and replace electrical equipment old
Old electrical appliances and equipment in the house must be checked regularly for repair or replacement. Regularly maintain and clean electrical appliances.
When there is no need to use electrical appliances anymore or when using them and there is a power outage, immediately disconnect electrical appliances from the power source such as irons, heaters, electric stoves, etc. They must be placed on non-flammable materials and in the right place.
