墊了一張紙，差點燒掉一個家，這個習慣很多人都有

一盤蚊香，一張墊紙，一夜之間，險些讓一個家化為灰燼。近日，浙江金華東陽的一戶居民家中，經歷了一場驚心動魄的午夜火情。

事發當晚，戶主趙先生因女兒前一天被蚊子叮咬，睡前便在女兒房間點燃了一盤蚊香，并在蚊香下墊了一張紙。

沒想到，紙張被蚊香引燃，火勢迅速蔓延，引燃周邊的衣物、床鋪。

The homeowner, surnamed Zhao, had lit a mosquito coil in his daughter's room before bedtime after she had been bitten by mosquitoes the previous night. He placed the coil on top of a sheet of paper, which later caught fire. The flames quickly spread to nearby clothing and bedding.

趙先生的妻子被一股刺鼻的焦味嗆醒，發現女兒房間著火后，立即帶著孩子跑出屋外，并撥打119報警。所幸救援人員撲救及時，未造成人員傷亡。

Zhao's wife was awakened by the smell of smoke and immediately evacuated the child before calling emergency services. Firefighters arrived promptly and brought the blaze under control. No injuries were reported.

蚊香中心溫度可達800℃

使用需注意三點

一場大火，源頭竟是一盤小小的蚊香。很多人不知道，蚊香點燃后雖無明火，但中心最高溫度可達700℃至800℃，足以引燃紙張、棉布、衣物等常見可燃物，并且它持續陰燃，一旦斷裂或掉落，極易在無人察覺時釀成大禍。

眼下正值梅雨季，氣溫高、濕度大，蚊蟲活躍，許多家庭整夜點蚊香驅蚊。使用蚊香時有哪些注意事項？金華消防提示：

▌固定好蚊香。點燃的蚊香要放在金屬支架上，并將支架置于不可燃的器皿內，防止蚊香因燃燒斷裂、掉落到周圍的可燃物上。

▌放置蚊香時，應與家具、床鋪等可燃物保持距離。

▌臨睡前，應確保蚊香處于安全狀態再睡覺。外出時，一定要將蚊香熄滅。

Fire officials remind the public to follow several safety precautions when using mosquito coils:

Place mosquito coils on a proper metal stand or other fire-resistant surfaces.

Keep mosquito coils away from furniture, bedding, curtains and other combustible materials.

Make sure the coil is completely extinguished before going to sleep and never leave a burning mosquito coil unattended.

驅蚊用品安全提示

當前，驅蚊產品種類繁多。除傳統蚊香外，電蚊拍、花露水等常見驅蚊用品若使用不規范，不僅達不到驅蚊效果，還容易“惹火上身”。

①電蚊拍：別和殺蟲劑等同時用

切勿將殺蟲劑、驅蚊噴霧、酒精類噴劑噴灑在通電的電蚊拍網面，否則極易燃燒起火。

電蚊拍工作時會產生高溫電弧，而殺蟲劑等噴劑里含有可燃氣體，兩者共同使用，極易引發火情。

Never spray insecticides, mosquito repellents or alcohol-based products onto an electric fly swatter. The high-voltage spark can ignite flammable vapors and cause a fire.

②花露水：使用時遠離明火

花露水內通常含有酒精，遇明火極易燃燒，購買時認準正規產品，存放在兒童不易接觸到的陰涼處。遠離明火、高溫熱源，切勿邊抽煙邊噴涂。

③電蚊香液：用完及時拔電

使用電蚊香液時，應保持瓶身垂直擺放，嚴禁側放、倒放。使用結束后應及時拔除電源，避免因液體滲漏導致設備短路，從而引發意外。

When using electric mosquito-repellent liquid devices, keep the bottle upright at all times. Do not place it sideways or upside down. Unplug the device when not in use to reduce the risk of leakage and electrical faults.

滅蚊不止點蚊香，源頭在積水

需要提醒的是，真正有效的防蚊，不是等蚊子飛到眼前再揮舞電蚊拍，而是要及時清理積水，鏟除蚊子繁殖的“溫床”。從戶外到室內，面對無孔不入的蚊子，可以試一試“五步防蚊法”：

▌一查，查身邊各類積水容器，如花盆托盤、廢棄輪胎等。

▌二清，清除環境當中散落的各類垃圾。

▌三翻，翻盆倒罐，將各種無用的積水容器倒過來或直接清理掉。

▌四疏，及時檢查并疏通地面排水的溝渠或坑洼積水處。

▌五封，對于無法清理的水體可采用加蓋等方式處理。此外建議用紗門、紗窗進行防蚊隔離。

Authorities also note that the most effective way to prevent mosquito bites is not merely to eliminate adult mosquitoes, but to remove standing water where they breed. Regularly emptying containers, cleaning drains and eliminating stagnant water around the home can significantly reduce mosquito populations.

梅雨季里，驅蚊是剛需，但安全永遠是底線。立即自查，你家的蚊香，放對了嗎？
