The meteorological department reminded that the temperature in our province has continued to be low in recent days. The public should pay attention to wind and cold protection. The elderly, children and people with weak constitutions should especially pay attention to the adverse effects of low temperature weather and reduce outdoor activities. In addition, the public needs to be alert to the occurrence of low-temperature burns or fire accidents when using heating equipment. When using air conditioning for heating, the room temperature should be controlled reasonably, not turned up too high, and windows should be opened for ventilation. When the electric heater is running, the temperature at the top is very high. You must not put anything on it, especially flammable items such as clothes. When spreading an electric blanket for heating, be sure not to use it all night long. Unplug the power supply after the bed is warm. The electric blanket should be laid flat and used under sheets or thin mats. It cannot be folded to avoid damaging electrical components and causing fires.
