CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Recently, Chongqing Fire Rescue Corps released the "Written Proposal to the General Public" and reminded that doing a good job of safety prevention and control of the national epidemic was of great significance during the critical period of Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) epidemic prevention and control. In order to ensure the safety of life and property of the general public and avoid fatal accidents caused by major and minor fires, the following initiatives are issued:

When using the inflammable and irritating disinfection products such as alcohol, non-washing hand lotion and "84" disinfectant, we should pay attention to the fact that the "84" disinfectant should not be mixed and stored with toilet cleaner. When using it, we should stay away from the open flame and high temperature heat source. Don't use alcohol in the car to spray for disinfection, but keep indoor ventilation. When sterilizing electrically charged equipment, wipe and sterilize it in case of power failure, so as to avoid short circuit of electric circuit and fire.

Please don't park your private car on the fire engine access when you stay at home. Please use movable roadblocks for road closure and isolation in communities and residential areas so that in case of emergency, you can move away in time to ensure the smooth passage of fire engines, ambulances and other vehicles.

Please don't pile up debris and park e-bikes in the indoor spaces, corridors, stairwells and exits; otherwise the escape route will be blocked in case of fire.

Electrical wiring and household appliances shall be checked regularly. When using heating equipment at home, we should keep a safe distance from furniture and clothing. Electric blankets, electric hot water bags and electric ovens should not be powered on for a long time, and they should be off after being used.

No improper connection of electrical lines. Don't use high-power electrical appliances against the rules. Keep fire and power off in time when leaving away. When gas leakage is found, ventilation shall be conducted immediately. Open fire and electric switch shall not be used.

Citizens should tell their children not to play with fire. The community and village residents' committee should help check the hidden danger of fire in their homes and remind their families of fire safety precautions.

Chongqing Fire Rescue Corps said that we should work as one against the epidemic. During the epidemic prevention and control period, the general public should wear masks and wash hands frequently, don't pay a visit and gather people, learn some fire safety knowledge at home so as to improve own fire safety awareness, because protecting themselves is the greatest contribution to the fight against the epidemic.
