Check the fire resistance of your home to prevent fires!!

Be careful of fires caused by tobacco, tempura oil, heating appliances, and more!

Fire caused by tobacco

The most dangerous thing is smoking in bed after drinking. It takes time for a spark to turn into a fire, so you may fall asleep without realizing it.
Even a small fire can be dangerous!

  • Never smoke in bed.
  • Decide on the placement of the ashtray.
  • Dispose of cigarette butts by sprinkling water on them frequently.

Tempura Oil Fire

If you continue to heat it on low heat, it will naturally catch fire when it reaches a high temperature.
Even though we know it's dangerous, we still can't help but be careless.

  • Do not place objects around.
  • Do not bring clothing close while cooking.
  • Do not take your eyes off when heating tempura oil.
  • Turn off the fire when leaving.

Fires from oil stoves and electric stoves

It is dangerous near the stove, as drying laundry nearby or having bedding come into contact with it while sleeping can cause a fire.

  • Do not place curtains or furniture close together.
  • Turn off the fire when you are not in the room.
  • Refuel only after the fire is completely out.
  • Do not bring laundry close.

Electrical Cord Fire

Fires are occurring from electrical cords that are used casually.
Cords can overheat and cause fires, and pets may chew on cords, leading to short circuits and fires as well.

  • Do not use octopus wiring.
  • Do not accumulate dust in the outlet.
  • Do not place furniture or other items on top of the code.
  • Unplug the iron and hairdryer after use.
