Although there is no danger of explosion when oxygen encounters an open flame, it will support combustion and make the fire burn more violently. Therefore, everyone in the oxygen production workshop must be alert to the occurrence of fire. The most basic thing is the preparation of fire extinguishing equipment. In addition to common fire extinguishing equipment - fire extinguishers, sand, water and nitrogen, etc., the staff in the reserve workshop must also fully understand their respective usage methods.

When a fire occurs in the workshop, the first thing to do is to remain calm. Do your best to analyze the cause of the fire to see if it was an oil fire, an electrical equipment fire, or another type of fire. Then quickly check what equipment can be used to extinguish the fire. The most important thing is to be able to choose the appropriate fire extinguishing method according to the type of fire to prevent blind use.

Generally speaking, when the fire is caused by substances that are insoluble in water or oil, do not use water to extinguish the fire. You can use sand or foam fire extinguishers to put it out, or other methods that can block the air. If there is a fire in electrical equipment, you should choose a carbon tetrachloride fire extinguisher. Pay attention not to use foam fire extinguishers and water here, as it will bring the risk of electric shock to the firefighters. If a fire breaks out in a wire, cut off the power supply first and then put it out with sand. If the clothes a person is wearing catch fire, they should first try to take off their clothes. If there is no time to take off the clothes, you can choose to wrap the body with a blanket and roll it back and forth on the ground.

Fully understanding the causes of fires and quickly deciding on scientific methods of extinguishing fires can effectively reduce property and personal losses when facing fires.
