Fire

Warning: Fire is fire! No matter how small a fire, fire is a very dangerous and detrimental emergency!

Small fires can be very dangerous because:

- It's difficult to see and smell, especially if a small fire occurs in a messy room, behind items and there is smoke from other sources in the area

- It's difficult to detect, so it is too late to extinguish

- It spreads quickly, especially if there are flammable materials nearby

- It's uncontrollable

- It produces a lot of toxic smoke (a mixture of gases and particles released when something burns), making it difficult to see and breathe

Here are some tips for staying safe from small fires:

- Have a Smoke Detector

- Have a Fire Extinguisher and read the instructions carefully so that everyone can use it correctly in an emergency

- Know how to put out fires

- Have a Fire Rescue Plan and Evacuation Plan and practice regularly escaping from the source of fire so everyone knows what to do in an emergency

Prevent and handle fires by taking the right training! If you are the owner of a house, apartment, shop, small company and others, take the right training so you can save your property and yourself.
