Isihloko: Ibhilidi Lokuhlala Lakwa-Blaze Engulfs, I-CO Fire Alarm Iqhumisa Ukuphunyuka Ngesikhathi
Idethi: Septhemba 22, 2021
Esigamekweni sokuluma izinzipho, i-alamu yomlilo ye-CO isanda kufakazela ukubaluleka kwayo njengoba yazisa izakhamuzi ngempumelelo, okuholele ekutheni kuphume abantu ngesikhathi okwasindisa izimpilo eziningi. Lesi sigameko senzeke ebhilidini elihlala abantu e (igama ledolobha), eColorado, lapho kuqubuke khona umlilo ovuthayo washisa lesi sakhiwo.
Isistimu ye-alamu yomlilo efakwe esakhiweni ithole ngokushesha ukuba khona kwe-carbon monoxide, igesi elingenaphunga neliyingozi. Abahlali babikelwe ngokushesha, okwabavumela ukuba baphume endaweni ngaphambi kokuba isimo sishube. Ngenxa yempendulo esheshayo, abekho abalimele noma ukulimala okukhulu okubikiwe.
Abazibonele bachaze indawo yesigameko njengesiphithiphithi, kuqubuka intuthu ebhilidini namalangabi ashwabadela izitezi ezimbalwa. Abaphenduli bokuqala bafika ngokushesha, belwa ngokungapheli ukuze baqede umlilo ovuthayo. Imizamo yobuqhawe yabacimi bomlilo ivimbele umlilo ukuthi ungabhebhetheki ezakhiweni eziseduze futhi unqande umlilo emahoreni ambalwa, nokuqinisekisa ukuphepha komakhelwane.
Iziphathimandla zikuncome ukusebenza kahle kwe-CO alamu, zaluncoma njengengxenye ebalulekile yokuphepha kwezindawo zokuhlala. I-Carbon monoxide, evame ukubizwa ngokuthi 'umbulali othule,' iyigesi enobuthi obunamandla, engenaphunga, engenambala, futhi enganambitheki. Ngaphandle kwesistimu ye-alamu endaweni, ukuba khona kwayo kuvame ukungabonakali, okwandisa ingozi yokungenwa ushevu obulalayo. Lesi sigameko sisebenza njengesikhumbuzo esinamandla sokubaluleka kwalezo zinyathelo zokuphepha.
Izakhamuzi zazwakalisa ukubonga kwazo nge-alamu, zavuma ukuthi ibambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekugwemeni inhlekelele enkulu. Izakhamuzi eziningi bezilele ngesikhathi kukhala i-alamu, ziphaphame futhi zikwazi ukubaleka ngesikhathi. Njengoba kuqhubeka uphenyo ngembangela yomlilo, abantu bendawo sebehlangene ukuzeseka, banikeze indawo yokukhosela nosizo kwabakhahlamezekile kulesi sigameko.
Iziphathimandla zomlilo zikhumbuze umphakathi ngokubaluleka kokugcinwa njalo nokuhlolwa kwezinhlelo zokuvimbela umlilo ezakhiweni. Lezi zinyathelo ezisebenzayo zibalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukusebenza kahle kwamasistimu ama-alamu kanye nokunciphisa ubungozi.
Ubuthi be-carbon monoxide buyinkinga enkulu emhlabeni wonke, kanti inqwaba yezigameko eziholela enhlekeleleni unyaka ngamunye. Abanikazi bezindlu bayanxuswa ukuthi bafake imitshina ye-CO ezindaweni abahlala kuzo ukuze bazivikele bona nemindeni yabo. Ukwengeza, ukuhlolwa okujwayelekile kwezithando zomlilo, izifudumezi zamanzi, nezitofu, okuyimithombo evamile yokuvuza kwe-carbon monoxide, kunconywa kakhulu.
Iziphathimandla zendawo zimemezele izinhlelo zokubuyekeza nokuthuthukisa imithetho yokuphepha emlilweni ngenxa yalesi sigameko. Kuzogxilwa kakhulu ekuqiniseni amakhodi okwakha, ukuqinisa izinqubo zokubhekana nezimo eziphuthumayo, nokwandisa ukuqwashisa umphakathi ngezinyathelo zokuphepha emlilweni.
Umphakathi ubuthene ukudlulisa ukweseka labo abakhahlanyezwe wumlilo. Imikhankaso yokunikela iye yahlelwa ukuze kuhlinzekwe ngempahla ebalulekile, izingubo zokugqoka kanye nendawo yokuhlala yesikhashana kubahlali abafudukayo. Izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi nezinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi ziye zaphokophela phambili ukuze zisize, zibonise ukuqina nobubele bomphakathi ngezikhathi zobunzima.
Njengoba imindeni ethintekile yakha kabusha ukuphila kwayo, lesi sigameko sisebenza njengesikhumbuzo sendima ebalulekile edlalwa izinhlelo zokuxwayisa zakuqala, njenge-alamu yomlilo ye-CO, ekugwemeni izinhlekelele. Igqamisa isidingo sokuqhubeka siqaphile kanye nokubambelela ezivumelwaneni zokuphepha emlilweni, ngethemba lokuthi izigameko ezifana nalezi zingavinjelwa esikhathini esizayo.
Sengiphetha, isigameko sakamuva somlilo esakhiweni sokuhlala e-Colorado siphinde sigcizelela ukubaluleka kwezinhlelo ezisebenzayo zokuxwayisa umlilo. Ukusabela okusheshayo kwe-alamu yomlilo we-CO ngokungangabazeki kusindise ukuphila, kugcizelela ukubaluleka kokwenza nokugcina izinyathelo zokuphepha ezinjalo ukuze kuvikelwe kokubili impahla nokuphila komuntu.
