Fire is often caused by human errors. Fire hazard is caused in
Nepal by cooking, and organizing picnic and gathering in open
places, andpreparing clay pots in an oven.Fire hazards can be
controlled by turning off the regulator of the gas cylinder after
the task is over, turning the oven off after cooking, and keeping
matches and lighters far from the access of the children. There
should be proper management of road infrastructure for the ar-
rival of a fire brigade, ambulances, etc. Fire extinguishers should
be installed in the public buildings. Skilled and well-equipped
human resources and necessary equipment should be ready for
twenty-four hours.
If there is a fire outbreak in the cmnmunity, we should timely
inform to respective institutions and persons. We should take a
shelter in safe place at first. If there is a fire outbreak in the house,
we try to go out safely from the house. We must try our best to
rescue all the family members safely. We should first priority to
get out of the house. Let domestic animals get free. We should
control fire outbreaks anyhow even by damaging a portion of a
house. We should make a combined effort for controlling it. We
should dial 101 for necessary information and help. We should
manage first aid and take injured people to the health institu-
tion for treatment. For people who lose their houses and whole
property,we should help them with their shelter, food and clothes.
