Wood-Burning Appliances

  • Before firing up a wood stove or fireplace, have the chimney inspected annually and cleaned.

  • Keep flammable objects at least three feet from a wood stove or fireplace.

  • Never use flammable liquids to start or accelerate a fire in a fireplace or wood stove.

  • Keep a glass or metal screen in front of a fireplace to prevent embers or sparks from flying out into the surrounding area.

  • Never use excessive amounts of paper to overbuild a fire in fireplaces. That may ignite the creosote in the chimney.

  • Make sure your fireplace fire is out before going to sleep.

  • Before closing your fireplace damper, ensure the ashes are cool. Closing the damper will help the fire to heat up again and will force carbon monoxide into your home.

  • If you use synthetic logs, follow the directions on the package. Use only one synthetic log at a time and never break one apart to quicken the fire.

  • Discard cooled ashes in a tightly covered metal container. Store the container outside and away from the house.


Gas Furnace

  • Have your furnace inspected to ensure that it’s in good working condition.

  • Inspect the walls and ceiling near the furnace and along the chimney line. If the wall is hot or discolored, install additional pipe insulation.

  • Check that the flue pipe and pipe seams are well supported and without holes and cracks. Soot along or around seams may signal a leak.

  • Keep combustible items away from the heating system.

Other Fire Safety Tips

  • Keep portable generators outside, away from windows, and as far away as possible from your home to prevent carbon monoxide build-up.

  • Never use a range or an oven for heating. Not only is it a safety hazard, but it can also be a source of carbon monoxide.

  • If you use electric heaters, plug only one heater into a wall outlet at a time to avoid overloading the circuit. If you can’t use a wall outlet, use extension cords of the same size or larger than the heater’s electrical cord.

  • Avoid using electric heaters in bathrooms or other areas where water is frequently used.

  • Never try to thaw frozen water pipes with a blow torch or other open flame. The pipe could conduct the heat and ignite the wall structure inside the wall space.

  • Regularly plan and practice your fire escape plan with your family. Establish two exits in each room.

  • Use emergency escape ladders to exit through windows in case the primary escape route is blocked.

  • If there is a fire hydrant near your home, keep it clear of snow to help the fire department locate it in case of a fire.

By practicing these few safety habits, you can stay cozy and safe this winter:

  • Test your smoke alarms once a month to ensure they are in working order

  • Keep all space heater a minimum of 3 feet away from any flammable materials

  • Plug space heaters directly into outlets, do not use extension cords or power strips

  • Look to purchase heaters that have an automatic shut off, or make a reminder to turn your heater off whenever you leave the room

  • Keep a glass or metal screen in front of your fireplace, and dispose of ashes in a metal container with a lid and put outside at least 3 feet away from your house.

  • Always put out your fireplace or wood stove before bed

  • Do not burn paper in your fireplace or wood stove, and keep all paper materials away from heaters.

  • Maintain your heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected each year by a professional

<![CDATA[Is your FIRE EXTINGUISHERS needs REPLACEMENT OR REFILLING & SERVICES?]]>https://www.dnieperfire.com/post/is-your-fire-extinguishers-needs-replacement-or-refilling-services61cac761afc8d60016f778adTue, 28 Dec 2021 08:26:03 GMTDivina TesoreroIt can be challenging to tell when you need to replace or service your Fire Extinguisher. To provide you with some insight, here are reasons why you need commercial fire extinguishers and how to tell if they should be replaced or serviced:

Fire extinguishers are essential fire protection products to have throughout your building. These fire extinguishers should always be part of your fire safety plan. Plus, most fire inspections have regulations pertaining to commercial fire extinguishers, so if you want to pass your fire inspection, you need these items. Most importantly, commercial fire extinguishers will help you protect your property and the people in it in case of a fire.


Signs You Need to Replace Commercial Fire Extinguishers

There are distinct signs that it’s time to replace your commercial fire extinguishers. Some of the signs that fire extinguisher replacement is necessary include:

  • The extinguisher is losing pressure

  • The hose is cracked or clogged

  • The handle is broken

  • There is damage to the shell

  • The pin is broken

  • The fire extinguisher fails hydrostatic testing

  • The expiration date has passed

  • You’ve had the extinguisher for more than 12 years

Signs Your Fire Extinguishers Need to Be Serviced

In general, commercial fire extinguishers should be replaced if there’s something wrong with them. For example, if your commercial fire extinguishers are damaged or missing parts, you should get new ones. The one sign your commercial fire extinguisher needs service is when it has been used and needs to be recharged. If you’ve ever used a commercial fire extinguisher in your building, you must immediately recharge it, so it’s ready in case there’s a “next time.”

That said, fire extinguisher replacement isn’t a bad idea either—especially for smaller fire extinguishers. If you’re not sure whether you should have fire extinguisher repair or fire extinguisher replacement. We can inspect the used fire extinguishers and recommend fire extinguisher repair or fire extinguisher replacement.

Risks of Not Having These Items Inspected

Local regulations likely require you to have your commercial fire extinguishers tested periodically. If you don’t have these items inspected, you may not comply with local regulations. Most importantly, should there be a fire, you won’t be able to put the fire out if your commercial fire extinguisher doesn’t work. Therefore, fire extinguisher inspections are vital.

Most importantly, should there be a fire, you won’t be able to put the fire out if your commercial fire extinguisher doesn’t work. Therefore, fire extinguisher inspections are vital.

Remember that you should call us any time you use any amount of extinguishant—even just a tiny bit. Releasing just a little bit of extinguishant could result in your fire extinguisher being unable to protect you the next time around.

HERE'S A SAFETY TIPS FOR YOU.]]>https://www.dnieperfire.com/post/what-are-the-do-s-dont-s-this-coming-new-year-here-s-a-safety-tips-for-you61c9a3713e7ec60016a52080Mon, 27 Dec 2021 12:04:47 GMTDivina TesoreroFireworks can be a lot of fun. They look eye-catching and striking. They’re festive. What’s not to like? But if you’re going to be anywhere around them, you have to understand the immense value of safety.

Do's & Don'ts to prevent Fireworks/Fire Crackers Injuries this coming NEW YEAR.

  1. Do keep a bucket of water, hose or fire extinguisher nearby when lighting fireworks.

  2. Don’t pick up fireworks that fail to go off or try to relight them.

  3. Don’t light fireworks, including sparklers, near anything flammable, such as dry leaves or grass, gasoline, etc.

  4. Don’t light more than one firework at a time.

  5. Do move away quickly after lighting fireworks.

  6. Don’t point fireworks towards any person.

  7. Don’t light fireworks in a container or indoors.

  8. Don’t let young children play with any type of fireworks, including sparklers.

  9. Do require adult supervision when older children use fireworks.

  10. Don’t use fireworks while using alcohol or drugs.

The most Important thing is being PREPARED and always READY


Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby and ready. If something goes wrong, you’ll want a hose or bucket of water close by to extinguish the blaze.

For something more portable and robust than a water bucket, consider keeping a fire extinguisher near your fireworks area.

Keep a fire extinguisher handy: Anytime there will open flames around your party, you should keep a fire extinguisher handy. First you need to keep the area clear of items that could quickly flame up if a spark flies. Keep a fire extinguisher close to each area that may be at risk for the flame spreading to table linens, centerpieces, presents, etc. Whether it’s a large candle centerpiece, a charcoal grill on your patio, or a buffet table with an open flame for heating or cooking food, any of these pose a potential fire hazard. Ensure that your home, apartment or place where you host . Christmas or New Year party has fire escape plan.

WISHING EVERYONE TO HAVE A SAFE, BLESSED & A HAPPY NEW YEAR AHEAD!

<![CDATA[There are 5 Classes of Fires, Do you know the right Fire Extinguisher to use? ]]>https://www.dnieperfire.com/post/there-are-5-classes-of-fires-do-you-know-the-right-fire-extinguisher-to-use61bed7e53feffa0017730cbaSun, 19 Dec 2021 07:49:10 GMTDivina TesoreroLET'S GET STARTED!!

While fire can seem like one big threatening force, it’s important to know that there are actually several classes of fires. A fire’s class can determine how quickly it burns, how dangerous it is, and the best way to suppress or put it out. The 5 different classes of fires each have their own best approach to put them out safely and effectively.

Class A Fires: “Ordinary” Fires

Class A fires are the most common of the 5 different classes of fires. They occur when common combustible materials like wood, paper, fabric, trash, and light plastics catch fire. These accidental fires are ubiquitous across a variety of industries, so it’s recommended to have adequate protection against “ordinary” fires in addition to other condition-specific fires.

Class B Fires: Liquids & Gases

Class B fires involve flammable liquids and gases, especially fuels like petroleum or petroleum-based products such as gasoline, paint, and kerosene. Other gases that are highly flammable are propane and butane, which are common causes of Class B fires. The best way to deal with these types of fires is by smothering them or removing oxygen using foam or CO2 fire suppression equipment.

Class C Fires: Electrical Fires

Electrical fires fall under Class C and are common in facilities that make heavy use of electrical equipment, but they can occur in a wide range of industries. For example, data centers might be an obvious risk area for Class C fires. They must have safeguards in place to deal with electrical fires.

Class D Fires: Metallic Fires

Class D fires are not as common as the other classes, but they do require special attention because they can be especially difficult to extinguish. Metallic fires involve flammable materials like titanium, aluminum, magnesium, and potassium — all commonly occurring in laboratories.

Class K Fires: Grease Fires or Cooking Fires

Class K fires involve flammable liquids, similar to Class B fires, but are specifically related to food service and the restaurant industry. These common fires start from the combustion of liquid cooking materials including grease, oils, and vegetable and animal fats.

When it comes to choosing the right fire extinguisher, no single type of extinguisher is fully effective on every kind of fire. So before buying a fire extinguisher, it is vital to look carefully at what type of fire you could possibly have to deal with. Choosing the wrong type of fire extinguisher for the job can be very dangerous, make the fire worse and risk injuring those attempting to fight the fire.

Which fire extinguisher types to use

  • Class A fires – water, water mist, foam, dry powder, wet chemical

  • Class B – water mist, foam, dry powder, CO2, some wet chemical

  • Class C – water mist, dry powder

  • Class D – specialist dry powder

  • Electrical – water mist, foam, CO2

  • Class F – water mist, wet chemical.

What are best practices to prevent FIRE?]]>https://www.dnieperfire.com/post/holidays-is-coming-what-are-best-practices-to-prevent-fire61bd97d096d68b00163e7fc7Sat, 18 Dec 2021 08:29:57 GMTDivina TesoreroOur holiday traditions can increase the risk of home fire. Learn how to stay safe while you celebrate.


Winter holidays are a time for families and friends to get together. But that also means a greater risk for fire. Following a few simple tips will ensure a happy and fire-safe holiday season.

Celebrate Safely this Holiday Season

With the holidays right around the corner, it is important to be mindful of fire safety so you and your loved ones can enjoy this season safely. During the holiday season, decorations, cooking and other fire hazards need to be managed with care to prevent fires.


How do you avoid electrical fires?

  • Practice Christmas light safety by buying your lights from reputable retailers. Check that your lights are approved by a nationally recognized testing lab such as UL, Intertek or CSA. UL identifies products meeting safety requirement for indoor and outdoor use with a red holographic label. For indoor only usage, the product will have a green holographic label.

  • Be sure to check all lights and throw out any that have broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or any loose connections.

  • Never use electric lights on metallic trees.

  • Make sure to use extension cords for their intended use - indoors, outdoors or both.

  • Be sure to plug outdoor Christmas lights in to circuits that are protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs).

  • Fasten outdoor lights securely to the house, trees or other supports to keep them from pulling away with the wind. But don’t damage the cord with fasteners. Take care not to puncture roofing shingles when fastening lights to the home.

  • Watch for water and snow and keep both extension cords and lights clear of them.

  • Make sure cords and light strands are not pinched in doors, windows or under furniture. This can damage the cord and its insulation.

  • When you leave home or go to bed, be sure to turn off all indoor and outdoor Christmas lights and electrical decorations.

  • Be very careful around power lines - keep yourself and your equipment at least 10 feet away from them.

  • Don’t overload electrical outlets with too many decorations or other electrical devices - they could overheat and cause a fire.


Decorating with Fire Safety in Mind

Holiday decorations including Christmas trees, can be pretty to look at but need to be used safely. Some holiday decorating tips include:

  • Choose decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant

  • Keep lit candles away from decorations

  • Turn off all string lights before going to bed

  • Blow out lit candles before going to bed or leaving the room

  • Make sure Christmas trees are at least three feet away from any heat source

  • Water your Christmas tree regularly

  • Replace any string of lights that have worn or broken cords or loose light bulb connections

  • Never use lit candles to decorate your Christmas tree

DFS SUPPLY, INSTALL, MAINTAIN EXIT, EMERGENCY SIGNAGE & LIGHTS

Always open but safely closed - the demands on escape and rescue routes are extensive, and initially seem contradictory. They need to save lives in the event of danger, and prevent access by unauthorized persons on an everyday basis. Intelligent emergency exit system solutions are the perfect solution for this apparent contradiction.

Even though emergency exits to different working spaces need careful evaluation to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, this article will give you a general idea about the importance of the compliance with requirements for emergency exits and their maintenance.

Every workplace should have an emergency plan and protocols posted in different places and common areas so that employees are familiar with all the different emergency exits in the workplace. It’s important that emergency exercises take place regularly so that employees are up-to-date with procedures they must follow during an emergency.

Emergency exit functionality in emergency situations

Emergency exits are a significant part of escape and rescue routes. The layout and number of emergency exits depends on the building and the respective building regulations. Despite this, it is clear that emergency exits allow people to evacuate the hazardous area at any time. Being able to open doors quickly and simply without any external aids is critical. Emergency exits must open immediately in the direction of flight and must lead people in danger outside, or into protected areas.


Functionality of emergency exits in normal operations

Emergency exits are very often used in fire protection sections. The safe flight function is just as important as the self-closing and fire-proof properties of the door installation. If automated doors need to provide complex functions in escape and rescue routes, a system solution from a door control unit offers an electronic locking element, such as for example emergency exit locks or emergency exit electric strikes and a panic lock (also called anti-panic locks). This guarantees both protection against unauthorised access on the one hand, and free access for fleeing people in the event of a hazard on the other hand.

<![CDATA[Is Having Training in Fire Extinguisher Required?]]>https://www.dnieperfire.com/post/is-having-training-in-fire-extinguisher-required61b70db1c944b9001627239aMon, 13 Dec 2021 13:45:08 GMTDivina TesoreroAn effective training program should cover more than the mere basics of how to operate a fire extinguisher. It should empower trainees to feel more confident in identifying sources of fire within the building as well as help them to decide how to deal with fire situations.


Trainees need to understand that there are different types of fires and not all extinguishers will work on them. If the wrong extinguisher is used, it could actually exacerbate the fire.


Trainees need to understand that there are different types of fires and not all extinguishers will work on them. If the wrong extinguisher is used, it could actually exacerbate the fire.

The five classes of fire are those involving:

  1. Ordinary materials such as wood, paper and cloth

  2. Flammable liquids such as gasoline and alcohol

  3. Electrical equipment

  4. Combustible metals such as magnesium and titanium

  5. Vegetable or animal oils

So what are some of the common classes of fire extinguishers and which types of fires can they handle?

  • Class A extinguishers are designed to combat common fires

  • Class B are used for fuel related fires

  • Class E can work for electrical fires

  • Class F extinguishers can work on oil or grease related fires.

Experts will be able to advise you as to which fire extinguishers may be needed in certain buildings/areas, and ensure your company remains compliant with current legal obligations.


WHAT ARE THE FOUR STEPS TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER PROPERLY?


Although you must undergo formal fire training to comply with OSHA, it’s helpful to have a general idea of how fire extinguishers work. Just remember to PASS:

  • Pull the pin that prevents accidental discharge out of the handle.

  • Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.

  • Squeeze the handle to send fire suppressant flowing through the hose and out the nozzle.

  • Sweep the nozzle from side to side until the flames are completely extinguished.

They can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or suppressing it until the fire department arrives. If those conditions have been met, you should pick up the fire extinguisher and attack the fire.


Fire extinguishers play a vital role in any fire protection plan in any environment. They are a first aid response to fire and can help prevent catastrophic damage to property and even loss of life.

If you’re a business or property owner, legislation holds you responsible for the provision of appropriate firefighting equipment on the premises – and this legislation rules that you ensure maintenance and regular inspections of the fire extinguishers are kept up to.

Here, we take look at the crucial role a fire extinguisher plays in any setting and highlight what you need to consider to meet legislation.



Fires are labelled by ‘class’ and the right fire extinguisher should be installed according to the class of fire the area is most at risk of. There are four main types of fire extinguisher, which are identifiable by their names, label colour and hoses or nozzles.


1. Water extinguishers are used on Class A fires – those whose source is solid (for example wood, paper and textiles).

2. Foam extinguishers are suitable for Class B fires (flammable liquids) and are recommended for Class A-risk areas too (those featuring combustible materials).

3. CO2 extinguishers though carrying a B classification, a CO2 unit is ideal for an electrical fire risk leaving no residue nor carrying a risk of damage to associated equipment.

4. Dry powder extinguishers (also known as ABC fire extinguishers) are suitable for Class A, B and C fires – those involving solids, liquids and gases.

We have written this blog to help you ensure you have equipment that will alert you to a potential emergency, and also help you to combat the potential fire.

Being prepared for a fire starts with taking the necessary steps to make sure you have the proper equipment. Your house should be well-stocked with fire equipment in case of an emergency, and it will also give you the peace of mind that you are protected if a fire unexpectedly starts.

Important fire and overall safety products for your home include a fire escape ladder, smoke detectors, a fire extinguisher, fire blankets and carbon monoxide alarms.

There are multiple fire risks in the home. Kitchen fires from unattended cooking; overheating electronic and electrical appliances; open fires and chimneys; faulty electrical wiring or overloaded electrical systems; candles and other open flames; smoking, matches and lighters, flammable liquids and aerosols; and barbecues, to name a few.


What is fire safety equipment?

Fire safety equipment is equipment designed to extinguish fires or protect the user from fire. It may be used by trained fire fighters, untrained users at the scene of a fire, or built into a building’s infrastructure (such as a sprinkler system).

What fire safety equipment should I have at home?

  • Smoke Alarm – Every home should have a smoke alarm. Once you do have a smoke alarm, it is important to check them at least once a month.

  • Carbon Monoxide Alarm – Much like a smoke alarm, a carbon monoxide alarm will alert you when it detects a threat. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless and odourless toxic gas, which is why it’s dubbed ‘the silent killer’. Appliances such as the boiler or cooker, which are poorly maintained or fitted, can produce CO.

  • Small Fire Extinguisher – An extinguisher is an important tool in protecting your home. Intended for use in tackling a small fire, it stops a fire from quickly engulfing your home. It’s important that you know how to use an extinguisher before you need it, see how blog for more advice on ‘How to use a Fire Extinguisher’.

  • Fire Blanket – Often found in the kitchen for pan fires, it acts by smothering the fire of oxygen when placed over the flames. It is a simple device, and could be ideal for someone not used to a fire extinguisher. A fire blanket can also be used to smother clothing that may catch fire when cooking.

  • Fire Escape Ladders – Sometimes the safest way to escape from a fire is out the window. This isn’t always an easy task, especially if you are located on the second or third floor of your home when the fire begins. At Firechief, we have both two-storey and three-storey fire escape ladders that are compact and easy to store.

Testing depends on the type of model, yet most standard detectors have a button on the surface. Press that button and sit tight for the alert.

Ask your company (your children, mate, or flat-mate) to tune in for the alarm in a faraway room. The smoke indicator might be working, yet it isn't useful if the entire house can't hear it. Go for this for each smoke locator in your home once per month to keep them fit as good condition.

3. Change the batteries varying

At the point when the batteries in smoke detectors are low, you'll know. Those irritating sounds aren't for any reason in particular. They're low-battery reminders and they shouldn't be overlooked. If a fire breaks out in your home and the smoke identifier's batteries are depleted, the detector won't sound, putting your home at higher danger.

4. Practice safe habits

Basic precautionary measures and remaining aware of your environmental factors bring down the chances of a fire in your home. It's anything but difficult to get occupied while approaching your day, yet exercises like cooking can become dangerous rapidly without some care. So practice these fire-safe habits to stay safe.

Keep the oven or fireplace perfect and you will have to know about how to store flotsam and jetsam or flammable things according to flammable liquid storage design services UAE. Having a Christmas tree close to the fire sounds comfortable, however, it very well may be genuinely hazardous without proper safeguards.

When utilizing your fireplace, keep the glass windows open and the metal screen closed. This permits air to enter the fireplace yet shields embers from hopping onto your floors. Use fire-safe instruments like iron pokers to move around any logs inside. Never utilize your hands.

Great habits can keep away fires, yet you should in any case have an arrangement in the event of an emergency. At the point when a fire begins in your home, escape time is valuable. This is the reason realizing how to prevent fire and planning for mishaps is so significant.
