International Firefighers' Day #firesafety

An uncontrollable fire in the home space, work space or wherever,  who is the guy to call? Most definitely, your fire fighter! Like their name goes, they fight fire that takes lives and destroys properties. Fighting fires is no child's play. Fire fighters are no doubt super heroes,risking their lives and all to protect life and property.

May 4th is observed as the International Fire Fighters Day, we remember fire fighters that have lost their lives while on duty and appreciate those that still put their lives on the line to ensure that lives and properties are protected always.

As always, preventing a fire is always better than fighting one, hence knowledge on fire safety is mandatory. Fire preventive systems should be installed in buildings, these include smoke detectors, fire alarms etc. Fire fighting systems like fire extinguishers, water sprinklers etc. Some ways to prevent a fire accident:

-do not leave open fires unattended
-install smoke/fire alarm
-keep flammable material from fire source
-store flammable liquids properly
-keep matches and lighters from the reach of children
-do not overload an extension cord or outlet, also ensure that there are no stray wires
-avoid gas leakage
-inspect building to ensure that there are no faulty electrical wiring
-extinguish matches properly before disposing them
-when using chargers, care should be taken to unplug them when not in use

Avoid a fire accident . Know the hot lines for the fire service in your location. Give right of way when you hear the sirens of a fire truck.

We salute the efforts of our  fire fighters.
