Where Should We Put The Fire Extinguisher ?

Is kitchen an ideal spot to place the fire extinguisher (alat pemadam api) ?

​

Kitchen might not be the right place or the only place.

 

Imagine there's a fire broke out from the kitchen and you can’t grab the fire extinguisher from the kitchen itself if it's placed there. Therefore, it tells the fact that a house should have more than 1 fire extinguisher.

​

One of them can be placed at a convenient spot to cover both the kitchen and living room. At the same time, another unit kept in the master bedroom.

​

Type of property and number of fire extinguishers needed for a house, as a suggestion :

A) If you stay in a flat, apartment or condominium

- You should have at least 2 fire extinguishers

- One placed inside the kitchen, one placed inside the master bedroom

- At least a smoke detector installed in the kitchen, with connectivity to a smart phone. 

​

B) If you stay in a single storey landed property

- You should have at least 2 extinguishers

- One placed inside the kitchen, one placed inside the master bedroom

- Get a third unit to be stationed in the living room if possible, as a backup

- At least 2 smoke detectors needed, one at the kitchen, one at the living room, with connectivity to a smart phone.  

​

C) If you stay in a double storey landed property

- You should have at least 3 extinguishers

- Ground floor : One placed inside the kitchen, one placed at the living room

- First floor : Third unit placed inside the master bedroom

- At least 3 smoke detectors needed, one at the kitchen, one at the living room, one at the walk way on the first floor
