Now when population think about the East End of London and fires there are probably two events that beyond doubt spring to mind. Firstly the great fire of London which beyond doubt started in the West End, but hey, an End's an End as far as most visitors to London are concerned. The second event would be the terrible inferno's that raged during World War Two as the Nazi's relentlessly bombed England's capital in the misguided confidence that the will of the British population would falter. Big mistake Adolf.
Well there is a new East End fire threat now to go down in memory, the Queen Vic on Albert quadrilateral is going up in smoke and this has prompted warnings over real fires and the fact that hundreds of population die in real fires each year throughout the United Kingdom.
Free Permit Practice Test
There has sadly been a 20% growth in the rate of fire associated deaths in London in the past twelve months with over fifty population tragically losing their lives. The sad fact is that many of these deaths could be avoided if population took a few routine protection precautions.
Firstly, get smoke alarms and setup them correctly in your home. Test them weekly by pressing the test button to ensure the batteries are working and the alarm sounds. If you can't afford to buy an alarm you can beyond doubt get them free of payment from your local fire brigade. Give them a call and get a fire protection office to come round and fit them. This straightforward and free service could very well save your life or that of a house member.
Secondly, plan an fly route in the event that a fire starts. Ensure everybody in the property knows the plan and convention it. It may sound dumb but in reality such a straightforward course could beyond doubt save your life. Know how to fly the property and where to meet to make sure everybody is out safely. Keep doors shut at night to help prevent the spread of fire and leave hallways uncluttered so population can exit in the dark or smoke filled rooms. Many industrial smoke detectors for homes have emergency lights built in so as to furnish a optic aid to the exit point.
If your allocation permits you could also buy fly ladders. These are small and light weight devices that fold out to produce an fly ladder. With one of these you can safely climb down from upper floors to the protection of the street.
Avoid leaving machines such as dishwashers or washing machines on overnight. Many fires start in the early hours without population being aware. Faulty wiring can cause a fire from such a gadget and without a working alarm you could very well drown in the smoke fumes produced by the fire. Would you rather save a few pennies on your electricity bill or your family's life? I pick life.
In a fire, the most prominent thing is to fly safely. Get out and stay out. Call the fire brigade and let them tackle the blaze. Only fight a small fire with an extinguisher if you are unavoidable in its use.
