Fear later! The old man's down jacket suddenly "exploded" while cleaning up the kitchen! These safety knowledge must be known

An elderly man named Zhang from Gaowan Community, Hecheng Street, Lishui, Zhejiang Province, revealed to the media that his wife was packing things in the kitchen when her down jacket suddenly exploded
The down jacket has several 'big holes' blown out!
Zhang said that early in the morning, he and his wife were packing their bags to go to the countryside. The down jacket that his wife was wearing while packing in the kitchen suddenly exploded, leaving several large holes on the back of the clothes. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.

Zhang said, I was packing my luggage inside when I heard a loud bang outside. I was worried about a gas explosion, so when I walked out, there was nothing. Her (wife) said, 'I was scared to death, scared to death.'. How can a decent down jacket explode when worn? Is the problem with the clothes?
The elderly are also at a loss for solutions. According to Zhang, he just covered the rice cooker with a plastic bag and didn't move anything else. When he came out, he was still in good condition.
Is it caused by a gas leak?
Walking into the kitchen where the incident occurred, a strong smell of gas hit my face, which was very pungent.
It can be seen that besides the down jacket, the towels and garbage bags next to the gas tank have been burned to a certain extent.
The secretary of Gaowan Community, Ni Zhenhua, said that the smell of gas was very strong. At that time, we even twisted an extra circle (the gas cylinder valve) for him. There was some gas coming out (before), but now it's gone. You see, all the towels were burned.
For safety reasons, the staff moved the gas tank to the balcony.
Gas leakage can cause explosions even without open flames!
In response to this matter, the reporter consulted professional personnel from Qingtian County Fire Brigade.
Firefighter Wu Jiahua from Qingtian Fire Brigade said that it may be due to a gas leak reaching a certain concentration, causing static electricity in the down jacket, which led to the explosion of the down jacket. In winter, the weather is relatively dry, and many clothes can generate static electricity. If they react with gas, it can cause explosions. We hope that the general public must pay more attention and turn off the gas in a timely manner after use.
Be careful when using gas!
1. Maintain air circulation
When using gas, air circulation should be maintained throughout the year. After using gas, before going to bed, and when going out, the gas valve should be closed;

6. Pay attention to gas leakage and fire prevention inspection
When using gas, someone should take care of it. When boiling water, milk and Congee, the utensils should not be too full to prevent overflow and gas leakage when the fire is extinguished; After using up the gas, be sure to promptly turn off the stove switch and valve; Close the kitchen door and open the kitchen window before going to bed.
7. Pay attention to the expiration date of gas appliances
