The National Fire Safety Publicity Month of 2025 has kicked off. Here are 3 steps to protect your familys safety

First, I'll ask you three heart-wrenching questions

✅ did you unplug the mobile phone charger by your bedside when you went out this morning?

✅ is the grease in the kitchen range hood accumulated for half a month and not cleaned?

✅ In the elevator of the community, did someone push an electric bike upstairs again yesterday?

Don't think these are "trivial matters" - the data from the Ministry of Emergency Management is right here: In the past three years, 62% of household fires across the country were related to improper use of fire and electricity!

The good news is that the National Fire Safety Publicity Month for 2025 has been officially scheduled for November, and the 34th National Fire Safety Day will also be celebrated on November 9th! This year's theme is extremely practical: "Fire Safety for All, Life First - Safe Use of Fire and Electricity". It's not about "attending lectures and taking notes", but rather teaching you "safety methods that can be used today".

This article breaks down "Family Self-inspection, workplace Avoidance, and How to teach the Elderly and Children" into "foolproof steps". It is recommended to save it now and share it with your parents or partner immediately after reading - safety can't wait!

I. Why must we keep a close eye on "fire and electricity use" this year? The risk is closer than you think!

Do you think the fire is far away from you? These scenes might occur downstairs or in your office every day:

▫️ old cardboard boxes piled up on the balcony + unextinguished cigarette butts = burn in 1 minute;

▫️ power strip plugged into computer, printer and hot water kettle at the same time = overload, short circuit and spark;

▫️ electric vehicle charging in elevator = battery catches fire for 30 seconds, the entire elevator turns into a "sea of flames".

This year's publicity month takes "using fire and electricity" as the core, aiming to change the old habit of "rescuing only when something goes wrong" and shift to "preventing in advance". What we need to learn is not "big principles", but "specific measures" : for instance, teaching the elderly to recognize "what old wires look like", helping colleagues understand "welding work should not be done randomly", making safety as natural as "locking the door".

Ii. How do Different People Protect Their Safety? Give you an "action list" by scenario

Don't worry about "not being able to learn or being of no use". This publicity month has arranged specific methods for families, enterprises, the elderly and children. Just follow them

🔴 Family: 3 things to do today to clear the "time bomb" at home

Hidden dangers at home are often overlooked. Just get up now and you can fix them

Follow the "Three Clearances and Three Checkpoints" to check once (start now!)"

▪️ Clean the kitchen: Touch the range hood filter, it's greasy and wash it immediately! Do not stack cooking oil or flour beside the gas stove (they will explode when exposed to fire).

▪️ Clear the balcony: Sell or throw away old cardboard boxes and express delivery boxes. Don't charge electric bikes (even charging for one hour is dangerous);

▪️ Clear the corridor: your own bicycle and shoe cabinet should not occupy the corridor, and the fire door should be able to close tightly (do not use a stool to hold it in place);

▪️ Turn off the gas: After cooking, turn off the stove valve first, then the main gas valve (check it again before going to bed, don't mind the trouble);

▪️ Power off: Unplug the bedside charger and the night light in the living room if not in use! The power strip can accommodate a maximum of 3 devices (more will cause overload).

▪️ Close doors and Windows: Close the Windows when going out to prevent sparks from floating in (such as the sparks from burning paper during the qingming festival and barbecues downstairs).

2. Remember the "Retirement Table for Electrical Appliances" to prevent old appliances from becoming a hidden danger. Many communities will issue a "Household Fire and Electricity Usage Manual", and the "retirement table" in it must be remembered: Rice cooker: Replace it after 6 to 8 years of use (aging can cause leakage of electricity); Gas hose: Replace it every two years (don't wait until it cracks to replace it). Power strip: Check for cracks after 3 years (discard if it turns yellow or becomes soft).

3. Taking kids to a fire station for a visit once is more effective than telling them ten times. All fire rescue stations across the country are now open! Take kids to Neng: Experience "escaping from Thick smoke" (learn to bend over, cover your mouth and nose and walk through the passage). Operate the fire extinguisher by hand (remember the four steps of "lift, pull, hold and press"); Get to know the smoke alarm (you know to run when you hear the "beep beep" sound). Children learn while playing. It's ten times more effective than when you say "Don't play with fire"!

🟢 Enterprise Edition: Two points to keep in mind to Avoid accidents at work whether you are the boss or the employee, these two points should be firmly remembered in the workplace:

1. Don't do hot work blindly. For welding at construction sites and cutting during shopping mall decoration, you must first "report for approval"! There should be someone on site to keep an eye on it (bring fire extinguishers and lay out fire blankets). After welding, the welding slag should be swept clean. Previously, there was a construction site where the welding slag was not cleared, and the spark ignited the insulation material, burning half a floor!

2. Everyone must know how to handle initial fires. The company will organize practical training. Don't be lazy. You must learn: Cashier/Security Guard: Learn to use a fire extinguisher (spray at the base of the flame, don't spray randomly at the flames). Property management technician: Learn to connect the fire hydrant (water coming out within one minute is considered qualified).

Restaurant chef: Learn "Oil Pan Fire Extinguishing" (Cover the pan lid!) Don't splash water on it. Splashing water will make the oil explode. Learning to protect not only the organization but also oneself!

🟡 Special groups: How to teach the elderly and children?

Simplicity works. For the elderly: "Dialect class + door-to-door assistance". The loudspeaker at the village entrance in rural areas will play "local dialect reminders" : "Keep an eye on the stove when burning firewood or cooking, and close the valve after using the gas." It's easy to understand at a glance.

Community volunteers will visit your door to check the wires (to see if the outer sheath is cracked), replace loose sockets, and teach you how to use the "one-button emergency smoke alarm" (press it and someone will come).

For children: "Comics + Autumn Outing" The school will distribute fire safety comics, saying "Don't play with lighters" and "Find the safety exit".

In some areas, there is a "Fire Safety Autumn Outing" : wearing mini fire suits, riding fire engines, and learning about safety while having fun.

Three, no empty talk! These "hard rules" ensure that what you learn is useful. Are you afraid that your learning will be in vain?

This publicity month has three "hard requirements" : no "one-size-fits-all" approach: In rural areas, it emphasizes "fire prevention of firewood and grass and electricity usage for agricultural machinery", while in cities, it focuses on "safety of electric vehicles and escape from high-rise buildings".

Multiple departments work together to manage: The Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau inspects open flames at construction sites, the Market Supervision Bureau checks the quality of electrical appliances, and the Education Bureau incorporates fire safety classes into classrooms.

Only focus on actual results: Do not check the records, only look at "whether residents know how to clear the three items and close the three closures", "whether employees know how to use fire extinguishers", and "whether the number of fires has decreased".

To be honest at last: Safety is not just one person's business. The small thing you do today might be saving an entire family.

▪️ spend 10 minutes self-checking at home;

▪️ remind neighbors "electric bikes not to enter the elevator";

▪️ teach your parents to "turn off the valve after using the gas".

This November, you don't have to do big things. Just doing these "small things" well is your participation in the "National Fire Safety Campaign".

Study fire safety regulations, understand fire safety knowledge, eliminate potential faults and hazards, make good use of fire extinguishing equipment, call the police in time when in danger, and know how to escape scientifically. Everyone knows fire prevention, and every household is happy together!
