The kitchen is one of the high-risk areas for household fires. In the early stages of a kitchen fire, if we can maintain composure and use daily necessities around us to extinguish the initial fire, we can prevent greater losses from occurring.

Wet cloth: In the early stages of a fire, when the fire is not severe, items can be immediately used to block it. This can be achieved by covering the flames directly with damp towels, aprons, and cloths to prevent them from sprouting.

Pot lid: When the cooking oil in the pot catches fire due to high temperature, it should not be poured with water, otherwise the burning oil will splash out and ignite other combustibles in the kitchen. If there is no lid, you can use a nearby plate, basin, or other covering material to cover the pot.

Bowl and teacup: Alcohol hot pot at home sometimes suddenly burns when adding alcohol, and may ignite the container containing the alcohol. At this point, never throw the container out, let alone blow it with your mouth. Immediately cover the alcohol tray with a tea cup or small bowl to suffocate and extinguish the fire.

Salt: Salt is an effective extinguishing agent for early fires. The main component of table salt is sodium chloride, which rapidly decomposes into sodium hydroxide under high temperature fire sources. Through chemical reactions, it inhibits free radicals in the combustion process. The salt used in households absorbs heat quickly at high temperatures, disrupts the shape of the flame, dilutes the oxygen concentration in the combustion zone, and can quickly extinguish the fire.

Jiangsu Beier Tech Building Technology Co., Ltd. kindly reminds that kitchen fires cannot be ignored, and more attention should be paid to details. Regular inspections of gas and fuel pipelines, valves, etc. in the kitchen should be carried out, and gas detectors should be installed to monitor gas leaks in real time, ensuring the safety of life and property in all aspects.
