Oil drum fire drill

An open oil drum, with some wood or something inside it, into which gasoline is poured directly.

Record of a certain event – Employee activity record. Start time of the event: June 5, 2010, at 14:05. End time of the event: June 5, 2010, at 15:15. Theme of the event: Fire safety training and drills for company employees. Participants in the event: Fire safety managers, management staff, personnel on shift A, as well as some members of shifts B, C, and D; personnel on the Changbai shift, all newly hired employees, and logistics and security staff. Course of the event: 1. Fire safety manager XXX provided fire safety training to the employees in the training room, covering basic fire safety knowledge (from the “Fire Safety Knowledge Handbook”). Employees were required to master the “three understandings and four skills.” They also learned about the “Fire Protection Law,” the company’s fire safety management regulations, and the “Workshop Fire Extinguishing and Emergency Evacuation Plan.”； 2. The company’s safety officer, XXX, organizes interactive sessions with employees, including impromptu Q&A ； 3. Issue the “Fire Safety Knowledge Q&A” ； 4. Organize employees to conduct practical fire-fighting skills training drills in the designated area (playground). Activity Summary: Through this fire safety training and drill for all employees in the factory, the fire safety knowledge and skills of the experienced employees were strengthened and improved. At the same time, new employees gained a basic understanding of fundamental fire safety principles and skills. This contributes to creating a foundation, providing support, and ensuring safe production within the company. In particular, the practical skill drills enabled employees to clearly understand the fire safety principle of \"prevention first, combined with firefighting measures.\" Going forward, we will focus on the most basic aspects of safety prevention, striving to eliminate potential accident risks at their earliest stages. The key is to gather everyone at the scene before putting out the fire, and to thoroughly teach them how to use fire extinguishers in order to prevent frostbite

How much gasoline to pour? How to start a fire? Can a 4kg fire extinguisher handle it?

An iron barrel with an open top; as mentioned above, it contains wood and gasoline. One fire extinguisher should be enough; prepare two. The two worked together to put out the fire, starting from a distance of 20 meters; the team that extinguished the fire first was the winner. Actually, the gap won’t be very large; it’s all about learning through fun. Pay attention to the wind direction at the site, and keep a sufficient distance between each bucket to prevent dry powder or water from splashing onto the competitors.

For 1 bottle of gasoline with a capacity of 500 ml, at least two fire extinguishers are required. Using dry powder indeed works well – it’s straightforward and does not cause frostbite.

To ensure that every employee involved is proficient in using fire extinguishers, it is required that each employee personally use a fire extinguisher at least once to properly extinguish a fire in an oil tank. This is how we do it: the open oil tank should not be too tall; a height of 50-80 cm is appropriate ； Pour 20-30 cm of water at the bottom of the oil tank to absorb some of the heat generated during combustion, preventing the tank from overheating ； The oil to be used can be a mixture of gasoline and diesel, with gasoline accounting for 30% of the mixture. The main reason for this is that gasoline ignites more easily, while diesel burns more steadily; some used engine oil or heavy oil can also be added ； Use three to five wooden sticks placed at an angle inside the oil barrel to pour the oil into and light it; use a torch to ignite it, doing so from the upwind side ； The drill site should be chosen in a relatively open area free of flammable materials, such as fire-fighting training grounds or basketball courts. When conducting fire extinguishing drills within a factory premises, it is necessary to issue a work permit for hot work strictly in accordance with the procedures. For such oil drums, one fire extinguisher is sufficient to put out the fire, and it can be used 3 to 5 times.

Haha, can we do a test first? Experience comes from practice!

Use less gasoline; diesel will do. Prevent accidents during the drill.

We keep all our expired fire extinguishers; we simply replace them with new ones, while keeping the expired ones for use in drills
