Monitor"The scene of the fire under the electric car
In the early morning of September 20, a fire broke out in a small area in Beijing's Tongzhou District, killing five people. It is understood that the fire building has a total of 5 floors and a height of 18 meters, of which 4 and 5 floors are duplex structures. According to the preliminary judgment of the relevant departments, the cause of the fire was that the tenant on the 3rd floor took the lithium battery of the electric bicycle home to charge it, and the battery exploded and caught fire. The fire on the 3rd floor quickly spread to the balcony on the 4th floor, and then jumped to the living room and bedroom on the 5th floor. At the moment, the case is in further work.
The monitoring tells you how terrible it is to charge an electric bike and catch fire! According to statistics, 80% of e-bike fires occur while charging, for the safety of yourself and your family, please park your e-bike at an outdoor charging station for charging. Correct parking, time-limited charging, don't be sloppy in safety!
As a key task, fire safety is related to the safety of people's lives and property. At each fire scene, firefighters fought to the death in the heat wave of billowing smoke in the scorching heat, and fought hard to extinguish the fire. The work of firefighters is closely related to danger, in order to better promote the development of firefighting, while rescuing fires, protect the safety of firefighters themselves.
“Thermal imaging”
Help firefighters find their way
Thermal imaging is the energy released by "seeing" an object using an imager made of special sensors. Thermal energy or infrared light cannot be detected because the wavelength is too long to detect, so it cannot be seen by the human eye. What we perceive as thermal energy is actually part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light helps us see objects that are not visible to the naked eye. Thermal imaging cameras produce images that are not visible to infrared or "thermal" radiation. Depending on the temperature difference between different objects, thermal imaging technology produces clear images. It's the tool for predictive maintenance, building inspections, R&D, and automation applications. Thermal imaging enables the observation to be seen in total darkness, at night, through gray fog, smoke, and from a distance.
Designed for the heat and smoke that firefighters encounter on the job, the K-Series handheld thermal imaging cameras are built to withstand a two-meter drop to concrete, are IP67 waterproof, and can operate up to 85°C.
“Effective” Saving lives
Another use of thermal imaging cameras is to help find trapped and missing people, regardless of the fire, someone can be trapped. Thermal imaging cameras are effective in helping to ensure that people have been safely evacuated and that there are no stranded people in the room. Thermal imaging cameras are also used in technical rescue and drowning rescue. For example, if someone falls into a river at night and is stranded on a remote bank, a thermal imaging camera can be used to search. Sometimes it is necessary to deal with traffic accidents at night, and thermal imaging cameras are also used when someone is thrown out of the car and the victim needs to be located.
“Fire Assistant” FLIR K-Series
FLIR K-Series thermal imaging cameras can withstand the rigors of firefighting, whether it's a drop from up to 2 meters to a concrete floor or a jet of water, and can operate at up to 260 °C (500 °F) for up to 5 minutes.
Thank you, everyone who stood up in the midst of disaster.
