Related reporters are reporting that a fire broke out in a Romanian hospital that treats patients with new coronary pneumonia, and caused the deaths of five patients. 102 patients with new coronary pneumonia were already in the building at the time, three of whom died on the spot, while two others died of their injuries. The fire has been extinguished, but the fire is being investigated, according to the relevant personnel know may be due to a short circuit caused by electrical wires. So how do you avoid a fire in an important place like a hospital, or what items in a hospital are likely to cause a fire?
Hospitals are a place of healing, but they are also a place of protection. Because there are so many combustibles in a hospital, a fire in a hospital can have very serious consequences. First of all, some of the treatment equipment in the hospital is very expensive, and medical equipment are expensive. A fire will cause serious damage to the equipment here, and will also cause social impact, as well as irreversible damage to the patients in the hospital. The economic losses and loss of life and property caused by the hospital, especially in the hospital to do a good job of fire prevention, so what are the items in the hospital usually easy to cause a fire? The first is in the hospital radiology room has a fixed radiation machine, radiation X-ray, these X-ray and common circuit failure, has short-circuited and damaged parts, and the parts of these machines are damaged will cause electrical fire, and these machines have a very high probability of short-circuit.
When the energy is converted into X-rays and radiated to the machine will also produce a certain amount of heat, there is also a threat of fire. The second is film, which is flammable and poses a very high risk of fire. The third is in some medical aspects, such as operating rooms used in the anesthetics are flammable and explosive substances, once there is an open flame then it will cause very serious consequences. The fourth is in some laboratories, laboratories use of chemical reagents, and even sometimes will use the alcohol lamps and open flame or oven and other equipment, these equipment are very easy to cause fire. The fifth is in the drugstore, the drugstore put more things, and the complexity of the types of flammable substances and a large number of pharmaceuticals.
Most of these agents are flammable and explosive, and an open flame can have unforeseen consequences. The sixth is in some of the oxygen silos, which are used for patient treatment and are very high in oxygen. Once there is an open fire, then the fire spreads quickly, and it is not easy to evacuate the people in the cabin. Therefore, the medical staff working in the hospital should pay more attention to this aspect of the protection, to prevent the occurrence of fire on the hospital to cause irreversible damage.
