Small fires can escalate without warning incredibly quickly. Our advice is to always phone the fire service and not to tackle the fire yourself. A moment's hesitation or doubt could result in disaster.
Everyone should also have a home escape plan in case they do need to get out of their house.
Thanks for being so helpful.
Isolating the electricity is no guarantee that the fire will be stopped. The safest thing is to make sure you always cook safely and pay attention to everything that is happening. If your cooker is involved with a fire always call 999 and ask for the fire service. It isn't worth the risk of getting too close or tackling it yourself.
11:48 I was always told to touch the knob (or lever), as this will convey the current temperature on the other side more accurately than the surface of the door.
If there is any risk that a pan is about to ignite; turn the heat to the pan off if it's safe to do so. Get out of the house. Call the fire service and stay out of the house till it is safe to go back in.
The safest thing to do is to leave firefighting to the trained professionals. All fires and especially oil based fires are unpredictable and can escalate incredibly quickly. Don't leave things to chance, if you are in danger, get out, stay out and call the fire service out.
We aim to attend all emergency calls as quickly as we can safely get to them. Even a small bin fire could spread to surrounding properties or endanger life so we always aim for a quick response.
I agree, we cant 100% guarantee that Automatically turning the power off in response to a Smoke Alarm warning will stop every fire from progressing from smoking to a full persistent fire, but the TripActivator will automatically intervene and by cutting the power, will stop a high portion potential deadly fires at minimum cost.
When I was a kid, there was a special switch on the boiler that connected to fire sensing cable that ran up the chimney; if a chimney fire were detected, it shut the burner down. Seems like a good idea for things that could enlarge or spread the fire. I assume that many forced-air heating and cooling systems have something similar; continuing to circulate the air from room to room could spread the smoke and fire much faster than it would spread with the system off.
Cooker fire are the biggest cause of home fire. There is an answer. Automaticly turn the power off. See the Tripactivator for a simole solution
Thank you for this video
I've never gotten why blue is Europes favorite emergency light color
Blue light travels the furthest on the visual spectrum
a small pan fire if it hasnt ignited any wood can easily be put out with a fire extinguisher is a ABC rated extinguisher
how many plugs is it safe to use on a strip (if you do need to use more than one socket) i use no more than 2 but is this even safe? i have a fire phobia so extremely scared of potential hazards.
Very Good
Thanks
Thanks for advice
I would prefer to put a small fire out myself. If it's a big fire I wouldn't bother though I'd just call the fire brigade and evacuate everyone I could.
I am using 150 watts on four 1875 watt outlets in one room. That is a total of 600 watts. should I expect flashing and crackling LED bulbs on 2 of these outlets which were hooked up to new surge protectors? Or 4 incandescent bulbs in the bathroom to flash and then not work? Could be the switch hooked up to the bulbs hooked up to these outlets. Then these 2 outlets stop working, and show to my circuit tester open neutral. And then an outlet in the living room stops working all of this at the same time?
The owners to the apartments I live at say it is my fault that the outlets stopped working and the lights flashed and blinked. These owners did not tell me that these apartments were built in the 1974s with a good chance to have aluminum wiring. They did not tell me that there are loose outlets in all the apartments that could mean loose wires, loose screws or loose blades. Aren't the owners at fault completely if there is a fire at all? Am I not supposed to expect 1875 watts at each outlet as a part of my all bills paid rent lease?
I just unplugged all the wires from loose outlets in my apartment. Because I had to read about loose outlets on my own, I read that there is an excellent chance that using an appliance like a lamp at a loose outlet can immediately start a small lightning bolt/arc to shoot through the walls.
Where do I go to find out if aluminum wire has been used at these 1974 apartments?

Pure Energy: A qualified building inspector could remove the covers from your outlets and look and see if your wiring is aluminum or copper. If it's aluminum, a qualified electrician can change the connections.
Just asking how much plugs can i plug in my power strip my pc uses 1200w and my 3 monitors 75w my ps4 max 200 watts my second pc takes 500 watts so how much can i plug in
Home sockets are rated at 13 amps in the UK. It is really inadvisable and potentially dangerous to exceed this.
Thank you for replying bye
شكرا جزيلا على هذا اليديو
I would never have a fire in my house because I always Check before I Go out And bedtime
It's 911 not 999
Keith Bryant the emergency number in US is 911, but in UK it's 999 and in Europe it's 112
Keith Bryant this is a video meant for the uk where it is 999
