The fire safety issue in rural electricity consumption has always been a weak link in rural fire protection work, and it is also one of the main fire safety issues that troubles the construction of socialist new countryside. According to national fire statistics, rural electrical fires account for more than 70% of rural fires. While electricity brings benefits to farmers' lives and economy, the fire safety issues in rural electricity consumption are also showing an unfavorable trend. With the passage of time, the fire safety issues faced in the safe use of electricity in rural areas have become increasingly apparent. Below, the manufacturer of the fire alarm system will specifically explain to you how to prevent fire safety issues in rural electricity use

1、 Fire safety hazards in rural electricity consumption

Firstly, the safety performance of the power lines and appliances of farmers is poor, and their awareness of safe electricity use is weak. The scope of rural power grid renovation belongs to the household meter and above for daily electricity use in rural areas, and the indoor electrical facilities of farmers have not been renovated. The safety status of electrical circuits within farmers is still relatively low. In addition, rural areas are a high-risk area for "fake, counterfeit, and inferior" electrical appliances, so fires are often caused by short circuits, overload, leakage, and other reasons, making rural areas a high-risk area for electrical fires. At the same time, poor awareness of safe electricity use among farmers, lack of knowledge on safe electricity use, and illegal operations are also important reasons for triggering rural electrical fires.

Secondly, using electricity in violation of regulations and rules, and exiting the safety protection device without authorization. From the on-site investigation, it can be seen that a considerable number of farmers have not installed three-level protectors. Even if three-level protectors are installed, a considerable number of farmers have privately exited the operation of the three-level protectors. The reason is due to the unqualified electrical appliances, aging insulation of the circuit, and unauthorized connection causing circuit faults, resulting in frequent tripping of the third level protection and inability to use electricity normally, leading to manual and unauthorized withdrawal from operation. Due to the installation of terminal protection in each household, the electricity management personnel are unable to effectively supervise and manage the third level protection, resulting in frequent tripping of the second level protection. Users can only release the second level protection, which easily leads to electrical fires caused by electrical faults.

Thirdly, rural electricity consumption points are diverse and lack effective safety supervision. After the renovation of the rural power grid, equipment updates, maintenance, and electricity management have changed from village level organizational management to direct management by the power supply station, namely "four to households". Safety responsibilities have also extended to above household meters, and the scope of management has increased significantly. From construction and maintenance, accident handling, meter reading and charging, normal operation and maintenance to safety management, all are completed by rural electricians, lacking effective supervision and management of rural electricity consumption.

Fourthly, habitual and installation violations by agricultural electricians are not uncommon. In rural electricity management, although various regulations, rules, and systems are formulated in an orderly manner, standardized safety management is required. However, some agricultural electricians have weak safety awareness and habitual violations are difficult to eliminate. They rely on work experience to handle matters, take shortcuts, fear trouble, simplify procedures artificially, have weak safety awareness, and habitual violations occur frequently. Device violations are not uncommon.

2、 Countermeasures to solve the hidden fire safety hazards in rural electricity use

Firstly, strengthen the promotion of safety electricity knowledge and improve the safety electricity quality of farmers. To carry out the promotion of rural electricity safety knowledge, it is necessary to pay attention to strategies and methods. According to the requirements of being close to the masses, practical, and daily life, we should use popular forms and innovative means to carry out rural electricity fire safety promotion. In specific propaganda and education work, efforts should first be made to broaden publicity channels, such as holding fire prevention and electricity propaganda tours in densely populated towns and villages, and driving "mobile" fire propaganda vehicles to rural areas. Secondly, by collaborating with the power sector to hold the "Electric Power Cup" Farmers' Fire Safety Games, farmers can bring their learned fire safety theoretical knowledge and business skills back to every village and every family. Not only do they know it themselves, but they also teach the people around them, forming a good situation of spreading it from one to ten, from ten to one hundred, and from one hundred to one thousand. In the third episode, we will promote the "hot" and "difficult" issues of rural electrical fires, let the facts speak, use case studies to persuade people, and educate villagers on typical illegal and illegal behaviors and fire cases with educational significance. For example, rural cable television broadcasting networks can be used to play fire videos and explain common knowledge about electricity and fire prevention, or to organize screenings of movies related to electricity and fire safety.

Secondly, strengthen the management of electricity safety and increase investment in infrastructure construction. To combine the construction of a new socialist countryside, planning and renovation of rural electrical circuits should be carried out. For equipment violations in agricultural and sideline electricity facilities, government departments should issue corresponding regulations. The power supply management department should issue a notice of rectification within a specified period to users and make great efforts to address equipment violations. High standards and strict requirements are required for newly added users, with strict control over materials, construction, and acceptance to eliminate inherent fire hazards from the source. On the other hand, the power supply department should make good plans, allocate special funds in stages and batches to renovate transformers according to their importance and urgency, and completely eliminate device related violations.

Thirdly, clarify the relationship between responsibilities and rights, and strengthen measures to protect safe electricity use. If the property rights of power facilities belong to the power supply department, undoubtedly the safety responsibility and maintenance management are borne by the power supply department; The property rights of power equipment belong to the users, and their safety management and maintenance must also be borne by the users. Its purpose is to fulfill responsibilities, reduce disputes, enhance sense of responsibility, make managers have obligations and responsibilities, strengthen daily operation and maintenance management, and avoid and reduce the occurrence of accidents. At the same time, moving the third level protection to outdoor operation for container management is beneficial for safety electricity management personnel to supervise and inspect the operation of the third level protection, ensuring the reliable operation of the first and second level protection, and is the fundamental method to solve the low operation rate of the third level protection.

Fourthly, actively protect power facilities to prevent fires caused by damage to them. In order to effectively prevent fires caused by the destruction of power facilities, it is necessary to increase publicity efforts on the protection of power facilities through news media, so that the people fully understand the harm of damaging power facilities and form a good atmosphere where everyone has a responsibility to protect power facilities. Collaborate with public security organs to strengthen the deployment and control of waste material recycling stations and smelters, and block channels for selling stolen goods. Actively promote the application of new products and technologies such as anti-theft alarm devices for power lines and transformers in rural power grids, and enhance the self-protection ability and safety level of power facilities.

Fifth, enrich rural power management personnel and enhance their awareness of fire safety. In the construction of socialist new rural areas, it is necessary to focus on the fire safety situation of rural electricity use, enrich rural electricity management personnel, adapt to the new situation of a wide range of points, strengthen training and education for rural electricity management personnel, enhance their sense of responsibility and work enthusiasm, improve their professional quality, safety awareness and service awareness, cultivate a team of highly skilled, high-quality, and able to manage rural electricity, reduce the "human" fire hazards in rural electricity use, and ensure the safe management and stable development of rural electricity.
