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

 一、Tips from fire 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.


二、 the correct and effective processing methods are as follows:


(1) When a person is wearing several pieces of clothing, the skin cannot be burned by the fire, and the burning coat should be taken off quickly. Clothes with buttons can be taken off by grabbing the left and right plackets with both hands and tearing them off. You cannot unbutton the buttons one by one as in the past, because time is too late. If you are wearing a zip-up shirt, quickly pull the zipper to remove the shirt.


(2) If a person wears a single coat, they may be burned after a fire. When the clothes on your chest are on fire, you should quickly climb on the ground; when the clothes on your back are on fire, you should lie down on the ground. When the front and back clothes are on fire, you should roll back and forth on the ground, using your body to isolate the air and cover the flames, but the speed of rolling on the ground is limited. Not fast, otherwise the fire will not be easily extinguished.


(3) At home, use quilts, blankets or sacks to put out the fire, the effect is good and timely, as long as you pull it off, cover it on your body, and then quickly climb on the ground, the flame will go out 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 jump into shallow water quickly; 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, and it is not advisable to use a fire extinguisher directly to the human body Spray on, as doing so can easily contaminate the burn wound with bacteria.


三、The methods recommended by the three experts are:


1. Self-rescue, fall to the ground quickly, and use your body to suppress the fire, but do not roll too fast, so as not to encounter more wind;


2. For people to save, the person next to you quickly covers the fire with cotton clothes for the best effect, and do not use chemical fiber clothes, otherwise it will hurt the skin.
