On December 29th, the Ukrainian police said that a fire broke out in a hospital in Ivano-Frankov oblast, western Ukraine. The police said that a fire broke out in the intensive care unit of the central hospital in Kosov district, Ivano-Frankov oblast, killing three patients and injuring three medical staff. Two of them were seriously injured and the injured were being treated in the hospital. The cause of the fire is still unclear and needs to wait for the police to investigate.
When the fire broke out, a hospital medical staff mourned a patient who died in COVID-19 in the intensive care unit and lit a candle. At that time, several medical oxygen machines were working in the intensive care unit. According to the preliminary investigation by the police, when the candle fire broke out, it encountered a high concentration of oxygen in a closed space of the nursing center, probably from an oxygen generator. At present, the Ukrainian police have further investigated the fire accident. Ukraine's national emergency agency said that it will conduct fire safety inspections on medical institutions all over the country.
In case of fire, there is smoke to prevent the victims from escaping. Although the components in the smoke are non-toxic, the non-toxic gas will also prevent people from breathing, reduce the concentration of oxygen in the air, and cause people to die of lack of oxygen. This means that smoke reduces visibility, makes it less sensitive to escape from fire, and increases the chance of poisoning or burns. After a fire, especially after a sudden fire, flames and smoke come out from the doors and windows, and the smoke billows and the flames are raging, which is easy to make us feel panic, which leads to being out of control during the escape, making some people lose their normal activities, and some people even lose their cool and panic.
when a person is on fire, he must never run, because the more he runs, the more he burns. This is because running accelerates the convection of air, promotes combustion and makes the fire more violent. Running can not only put out the fire, but also bring the flame to other places, and it may expand the fire, which is very dangerous. The correct way: first take off your clothes, soak them in water, or take them out with your feet; You don't have time to take off your clothes, but you can lie on the ground and put out the fire. You can jump into a nearby pond to put out the fire. Burn area is large, don't jump into the water to prevent infection. Don't use fire extinguishers to spray directly at people who are on fire, because most fire extinguishers will cause burns and infections.
