Takeaways

• 😀 Using a fire blanket, bags of rice, or cloth like sheets are potential ways to fight fires when there are no fire extinguishers available.
• 😀 It's important to approach a fire carefully, keeping the wind direction in mind to prevent worsening the situation.
• 😀 When holding a bag (e.g., a rice sack), make sure your thumb is in front to hold it safely, which will protect your hand from slipping.
• 😀 When carrying the fire-fighting tool, move cautiously, either stepping forward carefully or walking sideways to avoid tripping.
• 😀 Always ensure that when you approach the fire, your back is to the wind to prevent the flames from spreading towards you.
• 😀 The bag should be held low and used to cover the fire in a methodical, controlled way to extinguish it completely.
• 😀 After covering the fire, continue to press the bag down and wait for white smoke to appear, signaling the fire is out.
• 😀 To remove the cover, lift it gently and carefully, avoiding unnecessary lifting before the situation is stable.
• 😀 Ensure that when retreating, you keep the cover above your head for safety, and maintain a clear escape path.
• 😀 Never throw the fire cover as it could cause further harm or allow the fire to spread due to uneven coverage.
• 😀 The proper use of fire-fighting materials and careful handling can make a significant difference in managing fire situations effectively.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the script?

The main focus of the script is teaching fire safety techniques, specifically how to handle and extinguish small fires using basic tools like a sack, fire blanket, and other improvised methods.

What should be used if a fire extinguisher is unavailable?

If a fire extinguisher is unavailable, alternatives such as using a sack (karung goni) or a fire blanket are recommended. A wet sheet or a non-plastic covering can also be used to suppress flames.

How should the sack (karung goni) be held when approaching a fire?

The sack should be held with the thumb in front, and the thumb should be bent inward for safety. The grip ensures that the sack is stable while carrying it towards the fire.

What is the recommended approach for carrying the sack towards the fire?

When carrying the sack, it's important to avoid stumbling. The sack should be moved to the left or right to maintain a clear line of sight to the fire. Walking diagonally is also an option to stay alert and avoid obstacles.

What should be considered when approaching the fire with the sack?

The direction of the wind is crucial. The person should stand behind the fire's direction of the wind to avoid being caught in the flames or smoke. This ensures better control when attempting to extinguish the fire.

What is the correct technique for extinguishing a fire with the sack?

To extinguish the fire, the sack should be lowered and gently pushed over the fire, covering it completely. Once the sack covers the fire, ensure there is no air escaping, and monitor the situation for smoke. If white smoke appears, the fire is out.

How can you safely remove the sack after putting out the fire?

To safely remove the sack, lift it one by one, ensuring it is not pulled too early. Make sure the sack remains intact and does not expose any part of the fire until the area is fully clear.

What should you do after extinguishing the fire and removing the sack?

After the fire is extinguished and the sack is removed, make sure to step back slowly and raise the sack above the head. This ensures the area is safe before walking away from the fire site.

What are the dangers of mishandling the sack during fire suppression?

If the sack is thrown improperly or mishandled, it may cause the fire to spread further or endanger the person attempting to put it out. It is important not to throw the sack randomly, as this can create an unpredictable situation.

Why is it important to avoid pulling the sack or dragging it over the fire?

Pulling or dragging the sack can introduce oxygen into the fire, making it worse. It is essential to push the sack gently and keep it over the fire to ensure that it is completely smothered.
