Cards:
Looking online, I was able to gather new information on the other cards that included the following...
Unearthed Plug:
- Electrical fires are less common at home, however, they still present a risk.
- If you come across faulty or loose wires then never use that electrical device. Not only do you run the risk of being shocked, but you may also cause it to spark and start fires. Instead, take out the plug or switch off the power and wait for a professional to fix it.
- Use a regular fire extinguisher or a fire blanket to put these types of fires out.
Magnesium:
- NEVER use water on Magnesium that is on fire as it can continue to burn even without oxygen! Instead, use a Class D fire extinguisher or sand, if you have it in order to smother the flames.
- Fun Fact: Magnesium is the fourth most common element in the Earth! The others being Silicon, Oxygen and Iron.
Flame-bob Cooker:
- If the inside of a cooker catches alight keep the door shut and switch off the power. This will stop the flames by cutting off its oxygen supply. If the fire persists then clear the house and call the fire department.
- Clean the inside of the cooker regularly to avoid food and grease build up that can lead to fires.
- Obviously, stay with anything that is cooking so as to make sure you are watching it at all times.
Computer:
- Though only a small chance, computers can start fires. This happens when the components inside are not correct and therefore the system overheats due to stress.
- Never block off the vents of your computer and make sure to clean the dust out of it, otherwise this can stop the fans from cooling down the computer and result in over heating that leads to fire.
Mechanical Chainsaw:
- An overheated chainsaw can cause fires when placed on flammable materials, so give the device time to cool down before refueling or using it again.
- Chainsaws can cause sparks when cutting certain materials, so if cutting outdoors make sure dry leaves and other flammable things are not near by. However, you can attach a spark arrestor to a chainsaw in order to destroy hot exhaust particles.
- Fires are not the only risk when it comes to chain saws since gasoline powered ones expose users to CO (carbon monoxide) which can be harmful in closed environments.
Oil Spill?
- You must always be wary if forced to fight an cooking oil fire yourself, after all, adding water can cause the oil to explode.
- If faced with burning cooking oil use the fire extinguisher Purple K to fight off the Class K fire.
Fireplace:
- Make sure to always clean out a fire place and its chimney regularly so as to make sure fire is restricted to the fireplace and doesn't expand.
- Cover the fire with a protective screen to prevent sparks from escaping.
- NEVER use flammable liquids to try and start a fire quickly.
- Once a fire has finished burning soak the ashes with water to cool them before placing them in a fireproof metal container outside your home.
Achievements:
Working on the same principle as I did for the previous achievements, you can see some new ones below. You may also notice that I have edited some previous ones in order to update them. However, I believe many of these will change as trying to come up with names for some of them was tricky.
