Hypocritical fire equipment is destroyed, optimistic about the home market

On the morning of March 14, Tangshan City Fire Brigade launched 315 operations to destroy counterfeit and inferior fire-fighting equipment. The city and its counties unified the destruction of more than 3,000 pieces of firefighting equipment such as counterfeit fire extinguishers, emergency lights and water bags. On the same day, the Wushenqi Fire Brigade in Ordos City conducted a major “physical examination” on fire-fighting equipment for fire-fighting products and public gathering places. The Wuhan Fire Brigade has destroyed 11,000 counterfeit fire-fighting equipment seized in the city so far this year. According to reports, more than 60% of these counterfeit equipment comes from construction sites. The performance of counterfeit fire extinguishers and hoses has shrunk dramatically, not only failing to extinguish the fire but also igniting the upper body.

Fake firefighting products become "invisible bombs"

The family equipped with fire-fighting equipment can respond to unexpected needs in the event of a fire, and there are numerous fire-fighting equipment on the market, and it is full of fake and shoddy products, so that the public do not know how to buy. Fire extinguishers doped with talc cannot achieve the effect of fire extinguishing, and water bags without lining are easily broken. Fake and fake fire-fighting equipment not only fails to extinguish fires, but may also become "invisible bombs" or even "gas bombs." Citizens who purchase fire-fighting equipment have questions about whether they can call the fire-fighting consulting and reporting hotline 87567733. They can also log in to the “China Fire Protection Product Information Network” to check whether the purchased fire-fighting products belong to the regular products announced on the website.

Fake and shoddy products may "burn"

The reporter learned that although fire safety equipment is related to the safety of the people, there are still many fake and inferior fire-fighting products on the market. In recent years, the Jimo City Public Security Fire Brigade has jointly affiliated with industry and commerce, quality supervision and other departments to investigate and deal with counterfeit and inferior fire-fighting products. The investigation found that the proportion of fake and inferior fire extinguishers mixed with talcum powder on the market is particularly large, and neither fire extinguishing effect nor fire-extinguishing time can be achieved. Mastery; there is also lack of pressure, dry powder agglomerates, and gas leaks. Steel plates with fire extinguishers cannot meet specified requirements and are prone to explosion. Most of the unqualified fire hoses have no “lining” for the hoses. Compared with the qualified products, the hoses are particularly thin and cannot withstand sufficient water pressure, are easily broken, and are easily broken. The non-conforming evacuation indicator is made of flammable combustible materials. Once a fire occurs, it will quickly burn, completely failing to guide the evacuation of the evacuation function, and some evacuation indicators will easily produce toxic gases if burned. “Unqualified emergency lights are made from flammable combustible materials and will quickly burn in the event of a fire,” said the fire brigade staff.

In addition, the fire brigade staff reminded the public that when the purchase of fire equipment can be field test is not qualified fire products. “You can apply fire-retardant paint to the wall and use high-temperature spray guns for on-site testing. The foaming of the surface of the paint proves that it can insulate heat. For fire emergency lighting, fire hydrant boxes and other products, the surface should be flame-retardant as required. Materials or non-combustible materials, these products can also identify the authenticity through field experiments."

The family can choose portable dry powder fire extinguishers. The staff of the Jimo City Public Security Fire Brigade said that in order to increase the ability of families to fight fires and escape self-rescue, the public can purchase portable fire extinguishers, fire blankets, fire-fighting filter self-rescue breathing apparatus, etc. in the fire equipment stores. Fire-fighting equipment, read the instructions carefully, and be familiar with how to use it.

Staff introduced that portable fire extinguishers should use portable ABC type dry powder fire extinguisher, which is located in an easy-to-access place to save the fire from the beginning of the family, and should always be protected from water immersion and moisture rust. Fire blanket is a fabric made of glass fiber and other materials after special treatment, which can play a role in isolating the heat source and the flame. It can be used to extinguish the fire of the pan or drape on the body to escape.

The role of fire-fighting self-rescue breathing apparatus is to prevent toxic gases from invading the personal protective equipment of the respiratory tract. It can be used for fire escape and self-rescue under heavy smoke. In addition, there are strong light flashlights with sound and light alarm function, with fire emergency lighting and emergency call for help, can be used for fire smoke and dark environment evacuation lighting and sound and light signals for help.

Home fire equipment market prospects are good Home fire equipment mainly includes fire blankets, escape ropes, emergency escape devices, descent devices, fire extinguishers, escape masks and other fire products. China's home fire-fighting equipment has a history of more than 20 years. Its products are increasingly abundant, and its product functions are becoming more and more perfect, which meets the needs of family fire escape. In 2010, the “11.15” fire in Shanghai set off a new wave of attention in the home fire-fighting market. People have a deeper understanding of home fire-fighting equipment. Shortly after the fire broke out, the Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Family Fire Emergency Equipment Equipped with General Knowledge" and recommended that residents be equipped with portable fire extinguishers, fire blankets, fire-fighting filter-type self-rescue breathing apparatus, lifesaving descending devices, and strong light flashlights with audible and visual alarm functions. Fire escape equipment.

According to the statistics of related departments, there are about 150,000 fires in China every year, of which nearly 50,000 are home fires, accounting for about 1/3 of the total number of fires, and more than 800 people are killed, accounting for more than 70% of the number of casualties in fires. However, at present, less than one fire extinguisher is occupied by 1,000 households.

Although people are aware of the importance of home appliances, most people still think that fire will not happen to them. They are not willing to waste money on what they may not use. It is this kind of luck that causes these "useful" fire protection products to remain cold. Chairman of Zhejiang Yu'an Fire-fighting Equipment Co., Ltd. stated that people have a certain degree of jealousy about fire-fighting products. They think that fire extinguishers are only used for fires, and they think that buying fire extinguishers may cause disasters. Therefore, one of the most frequently asked questions from resident users is that the validity period of products is generally too short. This has little to do with residents’ knowledge of fire products.

Last year, Hangzhou issued the "Hangzhou City Construction Project Fire Management Regulations," and "encourage new residential construction units to deploy home-based fire emergency rescue boxes." This is also the first time in the country to include “home fire emergency rescue equipment” in local regulations. In February 2012, after the launch of the first fire safety fund for empty nesters in Hangzhou, the “Gongshu Guanai Empty Nest Old Man Fire Safety Fund” was launched. The first activity was to distribute emergency fire-fighting equipment for empty nesters. Free donations and government-funded purchases can promote home fire-fighting equipment into the home. This time writing home fire-fighting equipment into the law is actually a powerful boost to the home fire-fighting equipment market. Although the law is only encouraging but not mandatory, it is a good start.

Although the future is good, in the development process of the fire engineering company, we must accurately grasp the orientation of industrial development, and strive to create a national integrated fire protection equipment development and integration zone integrating product management, engineering installation, maintenance and equipment manufacturing. It is advisable to set up an enterprise integrating production, R&D, installation and construction. It is necessary to focus on building a base for industrial development. It is necessary to attach great importance to the development of the headquarters economy, effectively strengthen industry management, and strive to create a favorable environment for accelerating the development of the fire equipment industry.
