Learning about Fire Prevention
Include your family members in learning about preventing fire, in developing, using, and practicing escape routes. Take time to learn how to use your Foam fire extinguisher. Be sure to purchase the Foam fire extinguisher specified for what you will need it for. A kitchen fire? In your vehicle or garage? Near the BBQ? Or in case of electrical fire a prime cause of fire a great danger during our major holidays. A good rule of thumb is to read all instructions, even maybe “play” practice to get used to its weight and how to hold it and aim it. Most fires are easily and safely extinguished if the Foam fire extinguisher is aimed at the base of the fire. Fire safety is an important dimension of learning how to protect yourself, your family and neighbors, and your pets from the danger of fire. “Fire Safety” includes having Foam fire extinguishers readily available in case of fire, and teaching all how to operate them. Fire safety means no smoking in bed. Means developing and practicing using escape routes. Obtaining Foam fire extinguishers and knowing how to use them and checking them periodically to “OK” they are full and charged. Preventing fires in the home, the auto, yard, or camping areas you treasure is accomplished by learning how to prevent fires. Having a large foam fire extinguisher available and knowing how to use it is the number one reason fire deaths and injuries remain low in this nation.
