What is Fire Fighting Equipment?
It is a device specially designed to extinguish fires effectively and can be used as protection in a fire situation. This device is a must-have for firefighters, both trained and untrained. Other types of equipment are integrated into the building you want to protect, such as a sprinkler system. Fire fighting equipment includes fire extinguishers, fire protective clothing, fire gloves, and other communication equipment.
What are the Most Important Fire Fighting Equipment?
All the equipment is important especially when a fire occurs. But there is equipment that may only be owned by firefighters, and there are also those that should be a compliment in all homes and offices. Among the most important fire fighting equipment are:
- Fire Extinguisher, in the form of water hose, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or other substance.
- Fireproof Protector, can be in the form of clothing, gloves, fireproof shoes, fireproof helmet equipped with lights, breathing apparatus, and fireproof blankets.
- Communication equipment, including walkie-talkies, telephones, radios, voice pipes, and others to enable seamless coordination in the process of extinguishing fires and evacuating victims.
Tips for Using Fire Fighting Equipment in Emergency Conditions
Even if you are not a firefighter, you should still have some fire fighting equipment, such as a fireproof blanket or fire gloves. Even water in a bathtub or dune can be used to extinguish a fire.
So, how to use fire fighting equipment in an emergency? Let’s look at the following tips:
- Do not panic! The flames will create panic. But try to calm down and immediately take the fire fighting equipment that you have stored in an affordable place.
- Immediately find the source of the fire. It would be easier if the location of the fire was not too big and not a multi-story building. You can go to the kitchen to see if the fire is coming from the stove or some other location. Find it quickly, then extinguish it using a fire blanket.
- If the fire has spread and you can’t find the source of the fire, get out of the building immediately to save yourself. While waiting for the firefighters, you can open the water tap and start putting out the fire from outside the building.
