Towels are a necessity in daily life, not only for washing face and wiping hands to remove dirt, but also for extinguishing fires and self rescue in the event of a fire. Especially during holidays, danger lurks behind festive occasions. Siemens fire alarm system manufacturers suggest paying attention to fire safety, learning more fire knowledge, and having a self rescue instinct can effectively protect oneself in the face of dangerous situations. The Siemens fire alarm system manufacturer will teach you how to use towels skillfully for home fire prevention

1. When using gas or liquefied petroleum gas, if you can always keep a wet towel by your side, in case of gas or liquefied petroleum gas pipeline leakage and fire, you can use a wet towel to cover it and immediately close the valve to avoid a fire.

2. If a building catches fire and people are trapped in the room with thick smoke, towels can be temporarily used as gas masks. Experiments have shown that the more layers a towel folds, the greater its smoke removal effect. In emergency situations, folding an 8-layer towel can achieve a smoke elimination rate of 60%.

3. Is it better to use a wet towel or a dry towel? Wet towels have better smoke reduction and elimination of irritating substances in smoke compared to dry towels, but their ventilation resistance is greater than that of dry towels.

4. For towels with less dense texture, try to increase the number of folding layers as much as possible. At the same time, cover your mouth and nose to increase the protection area, which is more conducive to self rescue.

5. Do not take the towel off your mouth and nose for a moment in the smoke, even if you only take a breath, it will make it difficult to breathe. It should be noted that using a towel cannot eliminate carbon monoxide.

6. Tall buildings are all reinforced concrete structures. Due to the interior decoration of households, the interior is covered with synthetic fiber carpets or plastic flooring, with plastic wallpapers pasted on the walls. In addition, soft sofas and mattresses, plastic sunshade blinds, and some furniture and supplies containing chemical materials are all combustible materials. When caught on fire, a large amount of smoke is produced, which can easily cause suffocation and poisoning. Therefore, taking refuge in thick smoke and covering your mouth and nose with a towel can help you better find ways to save yourself.

In addition, when high-rise buildings catch fire and people are trapped inside, towels can be hung outside the windows as a distress signal to receive rescue from firefighters.
