What to Do in Case of Fire:
Check if the flames are blocking your escape route.
If the escape route is clear, evacuate the building quickly and safely with all family members.
If possible, before leaving your apartment, turn off the electrical switch and close the natural gas valve.
If the escape route is blocked:
Close the door of the room where the fire started. Do not open it if it is closed.
Move to the farthest possible location from the fire, ideally where firefighters can see you. Prefer balconies if available.
Close any intermediate doors if present.
Seal the bottom, top, and sides of the door you are sheltering behind with a wet cloth.
Take a flashlight and water with you if possible.
If the fire is on an upper floor:
Check for smoke in the stairwell.
If safe, leave the building using the fire stairs; if none, use the regular stairs.
If the fire is on a lower floor:
Check for smoke in your escape route.
If possible, leave via the fire stairs. If not,
If escape routes are blocked:
Return to your apartment. Seal the bottom, top, and sides of your door with wet cloths.
Go to the room farthest from the fire and seal that door tightly with a wet cloth as well.
Do not leave your apartment. Close all windows.
Remove curtains on the wall facing the fire and move any items away from that wall; wet them if possible.
If the fire is in an adjacent apartment, move items away from the shared wall.
Precautions to Avoid Fire Hazards at Home or Workplace:
Save your local fire and police emergency numbers in your home and mobile phone directories.
Keep at least one 6 kg dry chemical powder fire extinguisher in every apartment.
Unplug appliances such as heaters, kettles, toasters, and irons after use.
For built-in appliances (dishwashers, washing machines, ovens), have a certified electrician install fixed connections without using plugs or sockets. Do not connect these fixed lines to sockets.
Have your building’s chimneys cleaned by experts at least once a year.
Install devices that detect gas leaks with audible and visual alarms in your building.
Never leave children home alone.
Plan and explain emergency escape routes to family members.
Store flammable and toxic chemicals like polish, detergents, insecticides, shampoos, furniture cleaners, hydraulic oil, motor oil, and fertilizers in a closed cabinet out of children’s reach.
Fire Extinguishers You Should Keep at Home:
Working Principle:
They operate by pressurizing a chemical powder or water-based extinguishing agent with a moisture-free propellant gas and spraying it through a suitable nozzle.
Important Notes:
Always remember your extinguisher is under constant pressure. Do not place it near heat sources such as stoves or open flames.
Check the pressure gauge monthly to ensure the needle is in the green zone.
Follow the instructions on the extinguisher label carefully.
Do not neglect the refilling and maintenance of your extinguishers when due. You can contact us via message, phone, or email for service.
Before using, read the label instructions carefully and operate accordingly. The trigger system is designed to require a force that anyone can easily apply, compliant with standards.
During monthly inspections, ensure the safety pin is in place to prevent accidental discharge.
