00:00 Now, it's Fire Prevention Month. Let's double check, my beloved ones,
00:03 in your homes, have you checked if your kitchen is safe and not possible to catch fire?
00:09 Wait a minute! And don't get hot because tonight we will teach you how to keep your family safe from fire.
00:17 We will be joined by the team leader of the Bureau of Fire Protection Special Rescue Force of Quezon City,
00:23 Senior Fire Officer 1 Richard Andrew Rosas.
00:26 Good evening to you, sir.
00:28 Good evening, ma'am.
00:29 This is very important.
00:30 Sir, the first thing we use to reduce the fire is this fire extinguisher.
00:36 But not everyone knows how to use it.
00:40 How can we use it?
00:42 So, please teach us how to use it, sir.
00:45 Because it's useless if you don't know how to use it.
00:48 Okay, sir.
00:49 Okay.
00:49 So, I'll start by teaching you the parts of our fire extinguisher.
00:53 So, what I'm holding right now is the lever and the handle.
00:58 And then this is the hose.
00:59 The end of it is the nozzle.
01:02 Okay.
01:02 And then it has a safety pin.
01:04 So, it's like a grenade, it won't activate until our safety pin is there.
01:08 And then the seal.
01:10 So, the purpose of this is so that our safety pin won't fall easily.
01:15 And then the cylinder tank.
01:17 So, the content pressure is there and then our firefighting agent.
01:22 And then on the label, it indicates how to use the fire extinguisher.
01:26 And what type of fire it can extinguish.
01:28 Oh, it's written there.
01:29 So, Richard, usually, in houses, there's no fire extinguisher, right?
01:35 What can we use at home if the fire starts from our gas tanks?
01:41 What is it?
01:42 Because not all houses have it, right?
01:44 Yes, ma'am.
01:45 Okay, please teach us.
01:46 In LPG, we can use a wet towel.
01:52 And then...
01:54 Do we need to?
01:55 There, sir will show us.
01:58 There, I'll show you.
02:00 Oh, someone is panicking, right?
02:02 Yes.
02:03 He's cooking and suddenly the fire started.
02:04 He's really screaming that he doesn't know what to do.
02:07 Yes.
02:08 If he saw the gas tank like that, what can he do first?
02:11 Okay, if your hands can handle it and the LPG's fire is far away,
02:15 you can just turn it off.
02:16 Oh, you'll just turn it off.
02:18 On his tank or his valve.
02:20 But if he can't handle it, what can he do?
02:23 There's a fire.
02:24 If we're a bit scared...
02:26 There.
02:27 Okay, so this is what we'll use, a wet towel.
02:30 So, wet the towel first, okay?
02:32 Wet it first, sir, okay?
02:33 Because you might use it dry if it's not yet dry.
02:36 Let's use the fire extinguisher first, sir.
02:38 So, when using the fire extinguisher, remember the TPA, SS, or TPAS.
02:43 Okay, first is the twist, the pin.
02:45 We need to twist it so that the cell will be damaged.
02:48 Because we can't pull it until the cell is damaged.
02:51 When do we remove it?
02:52 Next is the pull the pin.
02:54 We pull the pin.
02:55 Remove the pin.
02:57 Okay, so when it's removed, it's okay.
02:59 And then aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
03:02 So, this fire extinguisher is dry chemical.
03:06 Okay, okay.
03:07 So, when we put it in the fire, the gas will come out thick.
03:12 Okay, sir.
03:13 Let's try it.
03:14 It's thick.
03:16 Will we get hit?
03:17 Okay.
03:18 So, that's it.
03:19 Oh, so like that.
03:20 Yes.
03:22 We can see something.
03:23 Okay, next.
03:24 That's the disadvantage of this fire extinguisher.
03:29 What's better, the red or green?
03:30 We have the green one.
03:32 We usually use it when we have equipment or gadgets that can be damaged.
03:38 For example, our computer rooms.
03:41 This can't be used because it can be damaged.
03:43 The HFC or hydrochlorofluorocarbon, the green one,
03:49 if we use it, within 3 to 5 seconds, the firefighting agent evaporates.
03:54 So, it has no residue.
03:55 Okay, sir.
03:56 Now, we know how to pull the fire using the fire extinguisher.
04:00 Now, we will show and demo how to use the towel.
04:07 But how can we say, sir, while we are waiting,
04:11 that our tanks are not leaking?
04:14 Okay.
04:15 First of all, we should make sure that we go to the authorized store to buy our LPG.
04:21 And then, if we want to check if our LPG is leaking,
04:26 we can use our foam.
04:28 We will put a towel.
04:30 And then, we will apply it to the hose.
04:33 If there is a leak, it means that there is a leak.
04:36 So, we need to change the hose right away.
04:38 Oh, okay.
04:38 So, our safety is when we smell LPG.
04:42 If we smell it, it means that there is a leak.
04:44 There is a leak.
04:46 So, we really intend to smell it so that we can notice it right away.
04:50 So, what we will do is, when we experience something like that,
04:53 the lights that are on or anything else...
04:55 We should turn it off.
04:56 No, we should not turn it off.
04:58 Because if we switch, there is a spark.
05:00 What if the lights are on?
05:01 We will not do anything.
05:03 We will not turn off the lights that are on.
05:06 We will not move our lights if there is a spark.
05:10 Anyway, thank you very much, Senior Fire Officer Juan Richard Roses,
05:15 for your tips.
05:16 And I hope this helped our viewers so that we can avoid getting burned.
05:20 Thank you, sir.
05:21 Have a good night.
