人与自我·珍爱生命 (2024 四川眉山中考, 24—27, ★☆☆)
On average (平均), firefighters get a fire call every 24 seconds in the US. Every 87 seconds, a home fire happens. Just between January 1st, 2019 and January 1st, 2024, there were 11, 180 home fire deaths in the country. But the best escape time for a fire is just three minutes or less. So everyone should pay attention to fire safety at home.
To avoid starting a fire, we must know common causes. Cooking tools are the number - one cause of home fires. Be especially careful when using them. Never leave the kitchen while cooking and make sure the tools are completely off after cooking. Electrical appliances(电器) can lead to a fire, so check them often to make sure they are working properly. Smoking is another common cause of house fires. It's never a good idea to smoke indoors, so take a few steps to go out. Last, don't forget little kids. They usually find fire exciting and think of fire as a toy. So keep them away from fire and teach them about dangers of fire.
How can we prevent home fires? The following tips may help.
Get smoke alarms
The first step is to install (安装) enough smoke alarms through your home. Get one in every room.
Prepare fire extinguishers
Keep fire extinguishers(灭火器) available at home. They can put out small fires. Check them often to make sure they work properly.
Create a plan for escape
A good plan should start with two escape ways from every room. Then know how fast your family can run, tell kids when and how to get out, and make a house map with all doors and windows. Finally, choose a meeting place outside. And don't forget to practice it often with every family member.
You might think that these fire safety tips are common sense. However, it's difficult to think of them especially when you're in a life - and - death moment. Take action with the tips and never take fire safety lightly at home. (E9204003)
