Fires pose a particular danger to the residential sector. Apartment buildings are considered a high-risk area due to the fact that a fire can easily spread to neighbors.
Substandard repair materials emit toxic fumes due to overheating and melting. Hence the high risk of poisoning with acrid smoke.
In order to protect residents from the fire element, it is necessary to comply with fire safety requirements in apartment buildings.
Basic rules
In order to minimize the number of force majeure, it is worth following the basic rules of fire safety:
Residents' cars should not be allowed to park in places not designated for this purpose in all courtyards of residential buildings. In this case, there is a possibility of hindering the entrance of a fire truck and providing timely medical assistance to the victims.;
Be sure to clean the driveways from bulky garbage, including flammable (boxes, crates, etc.). If the object cannot be removed by yourself, put forward the requirements of the management company;
It is necessary to determine who is responsible for the condition of communications of non-residential premises and facades (gas and electrical wiring) of an apartment building. Also, residents are obliged to monitor the serviceability of communications in their own apartments and in case of the slightest suspicion of a malfunction, they will contact the senior in the house;
Pay close attention to the children's games. Do not allow playing with matches and flammable objects. Be sure to tell them about fire safety techniques, remind them of the evacuation rules.
These simple rules will improve security. If everyone is attentive to others, then you can be sure of reducing the number of fires in apartment buildings.
