Following the tragic incident where 7 people were killed in a house fire in Kuala Belait, I would like to share the following 2 websites. These websites teach us on fire prevention and things to do if we are unfortunate enough to be caught in a fire.
1. US Fire Administration Home Fire Prevention
2. Fire Kills: A British Campaign on Fire Prevention
After reading these two websites, I believe the level of awareness among Bruneians in regards to home fire safety is alarmingly low. Very few houses have fire detection system, such as smoke alarms. Very few houses are also equipped with fire fighting equipment.
There was a time at work when I was dealing with LPG sale and I became aware of the safety tips when using LPG bottles. I have seen many houses where the LPG bottles were stored indoors with no ventilation and some houses used un-approved gas regulators and hoses. For more info on LPG bottles safety, click here.
One of the most common causes of house fire is electrical wiring faults. Click here to learn more.
Remember, it is better to be safe than sorry.
