About unique fires

Tracking phenomenon is a phenomenon in which dust or moisture (moisture) accumulates between the electrodes of an electrical outlet, etc., causing small sparks to occur over and over again, resulting in a short circuit between the electrodes. When a short circuit occurs, the flames will erupt violently, which may spread to surrounding curtains and cause a fire.
Tracking can occur regardless of whether the device is in use or not, as long as it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Be careful of the following to avoid tracking phenomena.

• If the plug is left plugged into an electrical outlet or power tap, remove it from time to time and wipe it with a dry cloth.
• After using the device, switch it off and unplug it from the outlet.
• If the plug or cord becomes hot, stop using it immediately and have it checked by an electrical appliance store.

Clothing ignition is the phenomenon in which a flame from a gas stove or stove while cooking, or a candle on a Buddhist altar, ignites your clothes and quickly bursts into flames.
As the spread of COVID-19 continues, the use of rubbing alcohol for hand disinfection and other purposes is on the rise. Rubbing alcohol is highly flammable, so if alcohol soaks into your clothes when disinfecting your hands, there is a risk that your clothes will catch fire. Please take note of the following points to prevent your clothes from catching fire.

• When handling fire, avoid wearing clothing with flared hems and sleeves, as these can easily catch fire. Wear an apron that is flame-retardant, especially when cooking.
• Avoid placing seasonings behind the gas stove.
• When you have finished using a fire such as a Buddhist altar, do not leave it there, but put it out immediately.

If your clothing catches fire, please extinguish the fire immediately by taking it off, hitting it, or pouring water on it.

When sunlight is reflected or refracted by a lens or mirror and converges on one point, it is called a convergence phenomenon, and if there is flammable material in that area, it may lead to a fire. Be careful of the following to avoid a convergence fire.

• Avoid placing mirrors, vases, etc. near windows or areas exposed to sunlight that can cause a convergence phenomenon.
• When you go out, close the curtains to block out light.
• Be careful outdoors, such as on bicycles, motorbikes, and plastic bottles filled with water.
• Be careful in the morning and evening, and in winter, when the sun is at a lower altitude, making it easier for sunlight to penetrate deep into the room.

There has been an increase in fires caused by lithium-ion batteries in smartphones, tablets, mobile batteries, etc. Please be aware of the following to prevent fires caused by lithium-ion batteries.

• Do not subject it to external shocks such as falling.
• Do not use if you notice any abnormalities such as swelling, noise, or smell.
• Use the products that came with the device when you purchased it, or those specified by the manufacturer.
