Can A Fire Extinguisher Be Sprayed On Someone Who Is Already On Fire? Is There Any Harm?

1. Tips from firefighting experts: Never use a fire extinguisher to spray directly on the person on fire, because the agent of the fire extinguisher will cause wound infection, and the consequences will be very serious.

Second, the correct and effective treatment methods are as follows:

(1) When a person wears several pieces of clothing, the skin cannot be burned by the fire, so the burning clothing should be taken off quickly. Clothes with buttons can be taken off by grabbing the left and right skirts with both hands and tearing them violently. You can't undo the buttons one by one like in the past, because there is too little time. If you are wearing a zipper shirt, quickly unzip the zipper and take it off.

(2) If people wear single clothes, they may be burned after catching fire. When the clothes on the front of the chest are on fire, they should crawl on the ground quickly; when the clothes on the back are on fire, they should lie on the ground; Can't be fast, otherwise the fire will not be easy to bed fire,

(3) At home, use bedding, blankets or sacks to extinguish the fire. The effect is good and timely. Just pull it out and cover it on your body, and then quickly climb on the ground, and the flame will be extinguished immediately; if there is water next to it, you can also use it watering.

(4) In the wild, if there are rivers or ponds nearby, you can quickly jump into shallow water; but if the human body has been burned and the skin of the wound has been burned, it is not suitable to jump into the water, let alone use a fire extinguisher directly on the human body. Spray on the burner, because doing so can easily infect the burn wound with bacteria.

The method recommended by experts is:

1. Rescue yourself, fall to the ground quickly, use your body to catch fire, but don't roll too fast to avoid greater wind;

2. To save people, the people next to them quickly cover the burning part with cotton clothes, which is the best effect. Do not use chemical fiber clothes, otherwise it will hurt the skin.
