It's already September, and the new semester has officially begun. For college freshmen who recently completed the Gaokao just over two months ago, there must be a unique mix of emotions right now. Whether their exam results were good or not, a brand-new chapter in life is about to begin. In the coming days, parents will likely find themselves busier than ever, as they help their children prepare for college. While students enter the campus with excitement and friendship, parents are faced with an endless list of school supplies to buy. As the elder sister and editor-in-chief, I want to remind parents: don’t forget to purchase a fireproof safe for your child.
Many are still concerned about the recent fire at Taiyuan University of Technology. The blaze lasted five hours but, fortunately, no one was injured during the summer break. Over the years, university fires have become increasingly common, with incidents reported at institutions like Southeast University, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Shanghai University. As more colleges in our city start up, fire safety on campuses has become a major concern for local fire departments. According to fire department statistics, most university fires are caused by electrical short circuits. In response, the Municipal Fire Brigade has released a fire safety guide specifically for college students.
Most fires on campuses are caused by electrical outlets. For example, leaving a phone charger plugged in after it’s fully charged can lead to a short circuit and even a fire. Based on case analyses, the fire department found that a large percentage of university fires are due to electrical appliances, with socket short circuits being the most frequent cause.
As the new semester begins, electricity usage increases, and the use of high-power appliances in dormitories becomes more common. Prolonged overloading of electrical lines can easily result in short circuits and fires. Additionally, dorm rooms are often small and cluttered, making them highly susceptible to fire hazards. Students should remember to unplug chargers when devices are fully charged, avoid unauthorized wiring, and never use high-power appliances. Always make sure to cut off the power supply immediately if needed.
Avoiding spontaneous ignition caused by long-term power supply is also important. Smoking or using open flames in dorms is strictly prohibited. In the event of a fire, students may wonder whether to call 110 first or try to put out the fire themselves. Firefighters advise that calling 110 is the correct first step, but only if you are in a safe location. If a fire breaks out in your dorm room, it’s best to leave the room first before making the call.
Many students think that wet clothes or blankets can be used to extinguish a fire. However, professionals warn that this method is unsafe. Wet items can dry quickly in a fire, and the moisture might actually fuel the flames. It’s better to avoid this approach altogether.
Escaping the building is not a wise choice during a fire. When a fire occurs, the priority should always be to escape first. Important documents and personal belongings should be kept safe in a fireproof safe. While students may not carry much money, their academic certificates and other valuable documents are priceless. After years of hard work, it’s heartbreaking to lose them in a fire.
To protect these important items, consider investing in a fireproof safe. The Shield Fire Safe, certified by UL in the U.S., offers advanced fire protection technology. Its special fire-resistant materials and reinforced steel bolts provide superior protection compared to standard safes. During tests, the safe maintained a temperature of only around 100 degrees Celsius after being exposed to 937 degrees for an hour—far below the international standard of 177 degrees.
Since 2011, Shield has been a partner of CCTV.com and has gained recognition for its reliable fire and water resistance. It has proven effective in numerous real-life fire incidents, offering peace of mind for families and businesses alike.
When preparing for the new semester, don’t forget to include a fireproof safe in your child’s essentials. Safety should always come first, ensuring that important items are protected in any emergency.
