事发当晚,户主赵先生因女儿前一天被蚊子叮咬,睡前便在女儿房间点燃了一盘蚊香,并在蚊香下垫了一张纸

没想到,纸张被蚊香引燃,火势迅速蔓延,引燃周边的衣物、床铺。

The homeowner, surnamed Zhao, had lit a mosquito coil in his daughter's room before bedtime after she had been bitten by mosquitoes the previous night. He placed the coil on top of a sheet of paper, which later caught fire. The flames quickly spread to nearby clothing and bedding.

赵先生的妻子被一股刺鼻的焦味呛醒,发现女儿房间着火后,立即带着孩子跑出屋外,并拨打119报警。所幸救援人员扑救及时,未造成人员伤亡。

Zhao's wife was awakened by the smell of smoke and immediately evacuated the child before calling emergency services. Firefighters arrived promptly and brought the blaze under control. No injuries were reported.

蚊香中心温度可达800℃

使用需注意三点

一场大火,源头竟是一盘小小的蚊香。很多人不知道,蚊香点燃后虽无明火,但中心最高温度可达700℃至800℃,足以引燃纸张、棉布、衣物等常见可燃物,并且它持续阴燃,一旦断裂或掉落,极易在无人察觉时酿成大祸。

眼下正值梅雨季,气温高、湿度大,蚊虫活跃,许多家庭整夜点蚊香驱蚊。使用蚊香时有哪些注意事项?金华消防提示:

固定好蚊香。点燃的蚊香要放在金属支架上,并将支架置于不可燃的器皿内,防止蚊香因燃烧断裂、掉落到周围的可燃物上。

放置蚊香时,应与家具、床铺等可燃物保持距离

临睡前,应确保蚊香处于安全状态再睡觉。外出时,一定要将蚊香熄灭

Fire officials remind the public to follow several safety precautions when using mosquito coils:

Place mosquito coils on a proper metal stand or other fire-resistant surfaces.

Keep mosquito coils away from furniture, bedding, curtains and other combustible materials.

Make sure the coil is completely extinguished before going to sleep and never leave a burning mosquito coil unattended.

驱蚊用品安全提示

当前,驱蚊产品种类繁多。除传统蚊香外,电蚊拍、花露水等常见驱蚊用品若使用不规范,不仅达不到驱蚊效果,还容易“惹火上身”。

电蚊拍:别和杀虫剂等同时用

切勿将杀虫剂、驱蚊喷雾、酒精类喷剂喷洒在通电的电蚊拍网面,否则极易燃烧起火。

电蚊拍工作时会产生高温电弧,而杀虫剂等喷剂里含有可燃气体,两者共同使用,极易引发火情。

Never spray insecticides, mosquito repellents or alcohol-based products onto an electric fly swatter. The high-voltage spark can ignite flammable vapors and cause a fire.

花露水:使用时远离明火

花露水内通常含有酒精,遇明火极易燃烧,购买时认准正规产品,存放在儿童不易接触到的阴凉处。远离明火、高温热源,切勿边抽烟边喷涂。

电蚊香液:用完及时拔电

使用电蚊香液时,应保持瓶身垂直摆放,严禁侧放、倒放。使用结束后应及时拔除电源,避免因液体渗漏导致设备短路,从而引发意外。

When using electric mosquito-repellent liquid devices, keep the bottle upright at all times. Do not place it sideways or upside down. Unplug the device when not in use to reduce the risk of leakage and electrical faults.

灭蚊不止点蚊香,源头在积水

需要提醒的是,真正有效的防蚊,不是等蚊子飞到眼前再挥舞电蚊拍,而是要及时清理积水,铲除蚊子繁殖的“温床”。从户外到室内,面对无孔不入的蚊子,可以试一试“五步防蚊法”

一查,查身边各类积水容器,如花盆托盘、废弃轮胎等。

二清,清除环境当中散落的各类垃圾。

三翻,翻盆倒罐,将各种无用的积水容器倒过来或直接清理掉。

四疏,及时检查并疏通地面排水的沟渠或坑洼积水处。

五封,对于无法清理的水体可采用加盖等方式处理。此外建议用纱门、纱窗进行防蚊隔离。

Authorities also note that the most effective way to prevent mosquito bites is not merely to eliminate adult mosquitoes, but to remove standing water where they breed. Regularly emptying containers, cleaning drains and eliminating stagnant water around the home can significantly reduce mosquito populations.

梅雨季里,驱蚊是刚需,但安全永远是底线。立即自查,你家的蚊香,放对了吗?
