Carbon monoxide detector is a device which is used to detect the presence of the Carbon monoxide and to prevent Carbon monoxide poisoning. Incomplete combustion of any form of fire or heat will result in emission of carbon monoxide so the carbon monoxide detector or carbon monoxide alarm is fitted in lower levels such that at least above five feet from ground level and near sleeping rooms at houses so that the alarms sound can make you wake up in times of emergencies. Carbon monoxide is colorless and stronger than oxygen by weight and attacks the hemoglobin in our blood so such a device should be installed at places to detect it.

Using a Fire Extinguisher Properly
I’ve never actually used new afff fire extinguishers. With the amount of training I’ve had in fire safety, workplace safety, household safety, every-other-kind-of-safety, you’d think I would have used one at least once, but I haven’t. I know that in principle you pull the pin and spray the foam at the fire, and that you shouldn’t use it for an oil fire, but that’s about it. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to use one: do you have a feeling of power or control as you watch the fire reduce before your eyes? Are you too busy panicking about what’s on fire? Or are you too distracted looking for the nearest source of water to even think of the fire extinguisher? I hope I never have to find out in person, though.
One of the Five Elements
Among Panchabhoota (five elements) fire is placed above all, on the fact that while the other four bhootas get themselves impure in use, fire is the only one that remains as pure despite being used. But that is about the position of fire in the panchabhootas, where as a fire in your house, or for that matter in the neighborhood is not an auspicious one. The reason being the fire destroys whatever you have saved in your lifetime with in a jiffy. So it is important to take the necessary precaution as to protect your building from the risk of fire by knowing about fire safety, installing the right kind of class c fire extinguishers and the members of your family be taught the necessary steps to be followed should there be an unfortunate incident of fire in the premises.
Fire Extinguishers can be found almost everywhere
We see them where ever there is a chance of breakout of fire. These are the most essential gadgets in our daily life because we never know when accidents occur. When in need these can really save our lives. As soon as there is an outbreak of fire, we can immediately use this life saving gadget which helps us prevent major damage. Class C fire extinguishers should be used first in case of any major fire accident before the fire fighters arrive with fire engines. This can certainly make our job easy in extinguishing fire quickly. I recommend at least one fire extinguisher in every home to protect ourselves.
Fire in the neighbors
Before ten years I saw first time big fire. There was on the sky black smoke, and was too difficult to get a breath. Many people’s came to help to stop the fire. But the wind do it fire to be big. After ten minutes they came fire fighters, with three tanks. They put fire hose and start to prevent fire. When start with fire safety I saw that all fire workers accept one they open the ventils and sit down beside tank. With the high pressure fire hose I was working ant five other people. We were on the house and fuel the house with water to stop the fire.
