With the popularization of household appliances, there are more and more household appliances, and the occurrence of fire accidents in household appliances is also increasing frequently. So, what should be done when a household appliance catches fire, and what are the correct fire extinguishing methods when it catches fire? Moving on: The Correct Method of Extinguishing Fire in Home Appliances

① When a household appliance catches fire, turn off the main power switch immediately.

Regardless of the cause of an electrical fire, the most important thing is to cut off all power sources within the fire area correctly, safely, and quickly according to the different conditions of the fire site. If you know the position of the main switch of the control power supply, you can cut off the power supply by pulling the switch. When pulling the brake, wear insulated gloves and keep people away from the power source to avoid electric arc spraying and burning the face when cutting off the power. When cutting off the power supply, it is important to maintain composure and avoid electric shock accidents due to panic. If the electrical or plug is still on fire, do not touch the switch of the electrical appliance with your hands.

② When a household appliance catches fire and cannot be turned off,

Or when it is uncertain whether the power supply is cut off, use special extinguishers such as dry powder extinguishers to extinguish the fire. Never use water or foam extinguishers to extinguish the fire. Because using water to extinguish fires can easily lead to electric shock accidents, not only failing to achieve the purpose of firefighting, but also causing casualties, resulting in even more severe losses.

③ If the TV or computer catches fire

Be sure to pay attention to preventing explosion accidents. For television or computer fires, even with the power turned off, their fluorescent screens and picture tubes may explode. Therefore, when there is smoke or fire on the TV or computer, immediately unplug the main power plug and cover them with a carpet or quilt to prevent the spread of smoke and fire and prevent the explosion of the picture tube from injuring people. Be careful not to splash water on televisions and computers or use any fire extinguishers, as a sudden decrease in temperature can cause the hot picture tube to explode.
