Prevent 3 kinds of risks in the fire accident

Set up, But do not work!
This is the 2nd in a series of posts reminding the importance of safety facility. 
In the News Papers, I found a sad fire accident which was occured in the Karaoke(Karaoke is like bar where drink liquor and sing song. In Korea, is called as DanlanJujeom). 3 people died. The fire marshal noted that this accident was manmade disasters that could have been avoided. In this place, proper fire prevention equipment was installed, but these didn't work. The owner of Karaoke just focused on only passing the safety checks conducted by municipal authorities. It is nonsense!. Most of the fire tragedies were triggered by a lack of safety measures and the failure to operate fire prevention equipment.


Set up, But can not Access!
When we get in to the building, occasionally we can see the gate is blocked by filling cabinets or stuffs. In case of emergency, we should have no means of escape thru this gate in this building. In more serious case, we try to find another gate, it is difficult to find exit signs due to filling cabinets or stuffs.


Set up, But is not proof against fire
All of fire prevention equipment should be proof againt fire. But some of exit signs tend to melt from heat. These are not fall to meet the regulation. So when we get them, we must check them meet the safety regulation or not. Photoluminescent Exit Signs constructed from 99% aluminum would be better than Exit Signs constructed from chemicals. In fire accident, Chemicals will emit toxic gases if burnt.

last factor,Sometimes the electricity fail during fire accident, so Exit Signs must be illuminated. Against an electricity failure, Self Luminous Exit Signs can be recommended.


Don't neglect advices above mentioned. These are references.


Nightclub fire kills 43 in China

A Chinese nightclub fire killed at least 43 people at the weekend and left 88 injured, according to Xinhua, the Chinese news agency.

The fire, at a Shenzhen club, was triggered by "fireworks", local police said. The disaster, which comes in the middle of a public crisis over tainted milk powder, highlights other public safety risks in the country.

The club, located just across the border from Hong Kong, held hundreds of people at the time of the blaze.

Fires and accidents in bars, theatres and other public places are common in China despite government pledges to improve safety.

Many are caused by negligence and lax safety procedures, such as insufficient fire extinguishers and emergency exits.

Disasters in two Chinese coal mines this weekend left at least 36 workers dead, with 35 missing, according to local media reports.

Inside of Subway in Daegu

Inside Picture of Daegu Subway after Fire disater

Today It is work-off because Labor Day. So I have much free time in my house. I am spending time searching the internet. By doing this I find some article about fire accidents.

As Korean, I had memory about Daegu Subway Fire which took place in February 2003. At least 130 persons were killed and an equal number injured. 



Occurred in the United States last week after a large accident and related, 
U.S fire accident picture

U.S. Rhode Island 23 Feb nightclub fire, the scene of a memorial for the victims the local law enforcement officials and firefighters are looking at the scene.

point to 
a breech ofsecurity is a growing voice of self-examination. In a nightclub in Chicago,17, February 2003 just four days after 21 people died of suffocation in a nightclub fire in Rhode Island said the 97 people died. 

Financial Times (FT) 24 "from the Rhode Island nightclub tragedy in Chicago and not the effectiveness of safety regulations and the safety of American society stems from insensitivity," he said. 

Of the 270 casualties of the West Warwick nightclub in Rhode Island rushed to the front door to avoid fire accidnet. But All  four of the club's Exit Signs to guide visitors were poor, so people didn't not find exit signs. This condition made the victoms more.

These fire accidents  remind me how safety facilities are important. 


Exit Sign melted

Exit Sign which was melted in Daegu Subway Fire accident.

You can see the picture that exit sign was melted. When we construct our house, school,
office,etc, we must install safety devices such as Emergency Lights , Rescue Lifter, Fire Extinguisher,... .
In case of public building, these are regulated by law.

What do you feel after looking the left picture?
This picture tell you the qualtiy of safety devices is very important. The Exit lighting must stand heat.



When you want to buy them, what do you have to concern at first?
Quality....?
Price.........? 
Are these items observed with standard by regulated by goverment or not?

I get the good manufacturer and seller by searching the internet. If you want to know it, please let me know. I wil let you know.

Finally, one more thing, Exit signs are not just needed in risky siutation. I mean,,,,When I enter the new building which I am first time in this building, Exit Signs show me the way where I want go up or down. Therefore Exit Signs are with everybody also Exit signs are with you in every time every where. Do you think about blind people? How can they find Exit signs? These must to be changed to braille exit signs.

The close attention makes people close~!
