The college girl was found by her roommate and called the police. that day, the girl bathing will be the door unlocked, waiting for the roommate to return after the discovery of knocking on the door no one responded, so then the police to deal with, did not expect to come a step too late, the girl has no signs of life.
Police have ruled out the possibility of homicide through preliminary investigations,suspected water heater leakage leading to accidents. According to her father, "her daughter's legs were already scorched". It is clear what kind of pain the girl went through.
Water heater accidents occur frequently, it is time to pay attention
In fact, this is not the first accident about the water heater leakage: Shenzhen, a pregnant woman bathing electrocution, unfortunately, her husband was not properly operated, the two people were killed; no coincidence, Guangzhou, two young girls in the shower when they were electrocuted fell to the ground, electrocution died ......
So many water heater electrocution accidents, are reminding us that the daily use of water heaters must be careful, especially when installing extra attention to abnormalities, so as not to cause tragedy.
What are the aspects that cause water heater leakage?
1. line aging, wiring improper
This is one of the most common reasons, especially the old houses or neighborhoods, because there is no overhaul of circuits over the years, the aging of some lines is serious, coupled with the large amount of electricity for the sake of it is easy to trigger the situation of electric shock.
2. Installation of private lines
Some times in order to save installation costs, some people think they can be done independently, but do not know that there is a safety hazard. Once the line is not installed according to the correct route, or the water heater is not installed correctly in a certain place, accidents are likely to occur.
3. Buy unqualified wires on the cheap
The wires sold on the market are uneven, and it's really hard for us to tell the difference, or we recommend listening to the advice of professional electricians and buying qualified wires to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
So there is no way to prevent water heater leakage in advance? The following three points can be learned:
First of all, the purchase of water heaters, to pick the regular manufacturers of large brands of products, can not be greedy for cheap.
Secondly, the installation of leakage protector.
It serves to maximize the prevention of leakage. Once a leakage situation occurs, the protector will automatically cut off the power supply to avoid accidents. I think this setting is necessary because you don't know when the accident will come.
The last point is to pay attention to wiring safety.
Often bathrooms are humid, and this increases the chance of leakage. So daily to the bathroom plug or junction box protection, while trying to install the ground, leakage current will flow to the ground, and reduce the degree of harm to the human body, this point is also very important.
In short, regularly check the home line, shower before checking the water heater situation, although some trouble but better than encountering a leakage situation, but also to the safety of an additional guarantee.
It is worth mentioning that once you find a water heater leakage, the right thing to do is to turn off the power and stop showering, and at the same time contact a professional electrician to deal with the problem, do not rely on the so-called experience to deal with it alone, or it will lead to a greater tragedy.
Writing to the end
Electricity and fire safety, has long been a clichéd topic, but raw real life, there are still some people will be safe to leave behind, in order to save money for the sake of convenience, to increase the risk of electricity, always threatening the family's safety, which is quite dangerous behavior.
So it's time to improve safety awareness, create a good environment for electricity, reduce unnecessary accidents, and hope that similar events will not happen again.
