Fire prevention business

Home fire prevention inspections

Home fire safety inspections are conducted every year for people who have difficulty evacuating on their own in the event of a fire, the elderly (households of people aged 65 or older, and people living alone), and those who have signed up for emergency medical care.
We provide advice and guidance to all areas of Inagi City on fire and disaster prevention measures for the home, such as the installation and maintenance of residential fire alarms, warning against fraudulent sales, proper handling of heating appliances, and promoting measures to prevent furniture from falling over.

When a fire occurs, a fire extinguisher is effective in putting out the fire in its early stages.

There are different types of fire extinguishers, and the most commonly known ones are powder fire extinguishers and reinforced liquid fire extinguishers.

Although there is no obligation to install a fire extinguisher in a single-family home, having a fire extinguisher on hand will give you peace of mind in an emergency.

The purpose of the national unified fire prevention slogan is to raise awareness of fire prevention. Let each citizen raise their awareness of fire prevention.
Install a residential fire alarm and try to detect fires early.　

Residential fire alarms are very dangerous when they get old, as they may no longer detect fire due to the lifespan of electronic components or dead batteries.
Replace it every 10 years.
To find out when the fire alarm was installed, check the "date of installation" you wrote when you installed the fire alarm, or the "year of manufacture" written on the device.
Information on replacing residential fire alarms is also provided on the website of the Japan Fire Alarm Industry Association (external link). Please refer to us.

Be careful of fires caused by cigarettes, tempura oil, heating equipment, etc.

Fire caused by cigarettes

The most dangerous thing to do is to smoke in bed after drinking alcohol. This is because it takes time for a fire to start after the spark falls, so people can fall asleep without realizing it.
Don't let your guard down even if it's a small fire!

• I never smoke in bed.
• Decide where to place the ashtray.
• Sprinkle water on the cigarette butts and throw them away.

Tempura oil fire

If you continue to heat it even on low heat and it reaches a high temperature, it will catch fire naturally.
Even if you know it's dangerous, you won't be able to "accidentally" reduce it.

• Don't leave things around.
• Keep clothes away while cooking.
• Keep an eye on the tempura oil when heating it.
• Put out the fire when you leave.

Fire from oil stove or electric stove

It is dangerous to be near a stove as drying laundry nearby or having your futon come into contact with it while sleeping could cause a fire.

• Keep curtains and furniture away.
• Turn off the fire when you are not in the room.
• Refuel only after the fire is completely extinguished.
• Keep laundry away.

Electrical cord fire

A fire has started from an electrical cord that is being used casually.
The cord may overheat and cause a fire, or your pet may chew on the cord and cause a short circuit, causing a fire.

• Do not use cliched wiring.
• Do not allow dust to accumulate in the electrical outlet.
• Do not place furniture, etc. on top of the cord.
• Unplug the iron or hair dryer after using it.
