Summer temperatures continue to rise
A little inattentive in family life
It is very easy to cause fires and disasters
These eight categories of hidden dangers
Be vigilant
Hidden danger one
Faulty electrical wiring, overload of electricity
In many homes, several appliances are used at the same time, and they are running 24 hours a day. Once the electricity is used carelessly or the electrical appliances are overloaded, the line is overheated, which can easily cause faults such as short circuit of the wires and cause fires. In particular, due to aging, too long use time, and poor ventilation conditions, heat accumulation is difficult to dissipate, which is more likely to cause fire.

Hidden danger two
Improper use of mosquito repellent supplies
In summer, many families will use some mosquito repellent and mosquito control products, such as mosquito coils, mosquito nets, mosquito reciprocal agents, etc., but these supplies also have certain safety risks. For example, mosquito nets are light and thin, easy to catch fire, and the fire spreads very quickly. Spray mosquito repellents are flammable and explosive when swelled by heat or violently impacted. Especially mosquito coils, because after ignition, mosquito coils have an open flame and high temperature, if not placed properly, it is easy to cause fire.

Smoking in bed and littering cigarette butts
Some people like to lie on the bed or sofa and smoke while recuperating, but before the cigarette is finished, the person has fallen asleep, and the cigarette butt falls on the bedding, mosquito net, sofa and other flammable materials and causes a fire. Smoking in bed or on the couch after drinking is especially dangerous.

Clutter is piled up in the house
