Summary of safety measures in the use of fire extinguishers BMA dismantles fire drill system Order the following practice dry – do not spray. The carbon dioxide cylinders were all charged and no drills were allowed using the carbon dioxide cylinders.
Assoc. Prof. Tawida Kamolvech, Deputy Governor of Bangkok Referring to the case of a fire extinguisher exploding during a fire drill at Rachawinit Matthayom School, Dusit District. Now the police have interviewed all our officers. in the operation of Bangkok This morning all departments have been called. By stopping all drills until all equipment has been checked.
fire extinguisher standard Pressure test must be done every 5 years.
fire extinguisher, TISI standard, with instructions for use
I would like to clarify that the equipment used in yesterday’s rehearsal was a carbon dioxide tank. It’s not a bucket that’s in the community and government offices that we’ve attached.
Carbon dioxide cylinders are stored at our fire stations. which are now fully charged and are not allowed to be practiced using CO2 cylinders.
And next week will start for all fire stations. and district office Together with the community president, inspect all areas where there are dry chemical fire extinguishers. If it is an old, unusable tank or a tank that people may not be confident about will keep all As for the tanks that are standardized and tested, ready to be filled with chemicals, they are in a ready-to-use condition.
As for safety measures in the use of fire extinguishers do as follows
Stop all fire drills until all drill equipment has been inspected.
Accelerate inspection of red tanks at every point.
to all fire stations and area offices together with the community president Go down and inspect the area with red tanks. which are dry chemical tanks located in all communities Keep the old canisters that are no longer used. Or in a condition that makes the public insecure, will be collected. The tank with the applicable standard will be inspected and filled with new chemicals to be ready for use. Adopt technology to account for all tanks. Displays mounting points in GPS to be able to check tank age and last inspection distance.
Define procedures for inspection (visual inspection)
can be checked initially By the Civil Defense Volunteers (PorPor. Or. R.P.), communities, people and officials such as looking at the pressure gauge, bolts, the frame of the fire hose, the size, the swelling of the tank, the rust on the tank, etc. If found, can notify the tank to be moved to the area office. For people in the area who are worried. If you find a fire extinguisher that looks unsafe, you can report it via Traffy Fondue.
Dismantling the new training system
Let’s be a dry practice. without spraying It is the use of empty, unpressurized tanks, especially in schools. use spacing criteria No sparring in inappropriate areas is allowed. The use of equipment in practice must meet standards and be inspected every time.
However, the equipment used in the fire drills at the scene was a carbon-on-oxide material located at the fire station. Not the same type of fire extinguisher that is used in the community and installed in various government locations. Currently ordering to collect all cylinders for inspection. And there will be no rehearsal until safety is assured.
For fire drills, stop all. And issue a procedure to inspect called visual inspection is a preliminary inspection. By the Civil Defense Volunteers (PorPor Por.) Communities, people and officials, such as looking at the pressure gauge, engraved, crispness of the fire hose, size, swelling of the tank, rust on the tank, etc. If found, can notify the tank to be moved to the area office. For people in the area who are worried. If you find a fire extinguisher that looks unsafe, you can report it via Traffy Fondue.
If there will be training to come back will dismantle the entire training system The following is a dry rehearsal. without spraying It is the use of empty tanks that are not pressurized, especially if practicing with schools or students who require high safety. use spacing criteria No sparring in inappropriate areas is allowed. The use of equipment in practice must meet standards and be inspected every time. Turn training into safe education. And will cooperate with the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation to adjust all safety standards by using common standards
Deputy Governor Thawida said that the existing fire extinguishers If it’s an operational tank, it’s all ordered tanks. As for the tanks used in training, there are all the tanks that we ordered. As for the other number, the staff went to be speakers. and then get support or tanks are purchased in order to have enough numbers to meet the training needs Therefore, there are tanks that have been purchased in this way. That is not a direct purchase from the budget of Bangkok. However, even if it is a tank that is purchased for practice and demonstration, it is a tank that must be purchased according to the specified standards.
Deputy Governor Thawida also said that for all prosecuted officials At this time, a fact-finding committee must be set up. to be in line with what the police have come up with It is also waiting for the proof of evidence. to identify exactly what kind of offense Is the work performed on the previous page according to the standard as it should be or not? which now the forensic proof has not sent the information, but will follow this matter and will definitely not let go whether caused by negligence whether due to non-existence in training standards The investigative committee will act as rigorously and rigorously as possible without relenting.
Mr. Chatchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, also said that the tank used for training has a pressure of more than 800 PSI, a common tank in the community. It will be a dry chemical tank with a pressure of 190 PSI. It can be said that the difference is that a dry chemical tank will have a pressure gauge. But neither the tank used for practice has no gauge. will be used to measure the weight There will be a valve that releases when high pressure occurs. The tank we bought for training. This would require a standard tank because this tank needs to be inspected every 5 years, tested with hydrostatic pressure. That is, compressing the water force to exceed the standard value, how many times to ensure that this body can support it, must be adjusted and ordered to make an account of all tanks
Next, there will be a GPS system to know where the tanks are located in this community. When each tank is checked, we use a system that takes up GPS coordinates, making it easier for us to inspect. It will be the duty of the community committee together with the technology volunteers to put these diagrams up. which has already begun in some places in the Bangkok Yai area Once we have all of them, every community, then expand to other communities. when assembling several communities will see the whole tank in Bangkok So where is the red tank? How do you know when this tank expires? And then check the latest when the technology was used to create more confidence.
In part of the training at Rachawinit School There is a clear request for support from the school. and has been approved by the director of OPS. In which the request for support for training has already happened. From talking to many firefighters Everyone said there had never been a case of carbon dioxide cylinders exploding like this. which this event, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration cannot accept as well Because we have a duty to take care of people. But people have to be injured or killed from the operation or the equipment that we teach. Must be thoroughly checked and cannot happen again in the future.
Regarding the treatment of the injured and dead There is money to heal, but not a lot. Because according to the regulations, about 29,700 baht for the deceased As for the victims, 4,000 baht is called consolation. medical treatment section All issued by Bangkok Hospital But no matter how much money it is, it’s not worth the life that was lost to the younger brother who died.
