Safety factors in living spaces are increasingly emphasized and concerned. Therefore, housewives should refer to equip themselves with some basic items to help provide timely support if unfortunately an incident occurs.
Fuel
This is a necessary item in every family because fire incidents are very likely to happen at any time. Fires can break out from very small causes such as electrical short circuits or cigarette butts... Therefore, a handheld fire extinguisher can extinguish the fire and prevent fire from spreading.
Currently, there are two popular types on the market: powder kettles and CO2 gas kettles. For households, powder kettles weighing 2kg or 4kg are recommended for use due to their versatility and ease of use. The ideal location to place fire extinguishers is in the kitchen or near the entrance.
Housewives also need to pay attention to checking the battery's lifespan and pressure periodically every 6 months to ensure that the fire extinguisher is always in the best operating state.
Smoke and gas leak detectors
Most casualties in fires are due to smoke inhalation, especially when incidents occur late at night. A ceiling smoke detector with a modest cost will be able to detect abnormal smoke concentrations and emit warning sounds.
The sound will help warn the family of dangers to promptly and proactively handle the situation or escape safely. In addition, if the family still uses a gas stove, installing gas leak warning devices is extremely necessary to ensure safety for the members.
Family medicine cabinet
Small accidents - for example, cutting a hand, minor burns, or health problems such as high bowel movements, abdominal pain can occur at any time. Then, a family medicine cabinet fully equipped with everything can quickly provide first aid before being taken to the doctor for examination.
The family medicine cabinet also needs to be placed in a dry, airy and away from children's reach.
Flashlight illuminates
In storms, floods, or fires, power outages can occur at any time. Therefore, equip your family with at least one flashlight or charger.
Unlike flashes on mobile phones with low light and very easy to burn battery, flashlights have the advantage of high durability, helping to use effectively and send a distress signal when needed.
