最近，一段关于家中火灾隐患的视频在TikTok上引发了广泛关注。视频由一位名叫Jess的消防员妻子发布，她警告说，浴室排气扇可能是家中一个常被忽视却非常危险的火灾源。视频目前已获得超过200万次观看。
Jess在视频中分享道，她的丈夫是一名拥有17年经验的消防员，在他的工作经历中，浴室风扇被认为是“房屋毁灭者”。这个不起眼的设备，其实存在极大的火灾隐患，足以将整个房屋“烧成灰烬”。
她解释说，浴室排气扇通常位于天花板或高处，人们很少会想到去清洁它，尤其是内部的通风管道，这就导致大量灰尘积累。一旦风扇出现短路或故障，产生的热量可能会点燃这些积尘。火焰会迅速沿着管道蔓延到阁楼和楼板中的中空空间，甚至扩散到天花板和烟雾探测器上方，而等到火灾被发现时，往往已经太迟。
@unhingedreviewswjess It’s certainly not the most common, but is the most *dangerous* fire. Why? Because even if you are home, it can go undetected for too long, and it can get out of hand quickly. Remake for the people who said they couldn’t hear me! A lot of people are saying that it’s candle fires, dryer vent fires, or kitchen fires or even space heaters. While I agree that any fire left unattended is a potential “house burner,” a fire in the crawl space of your home is not easily detected OR put out. When the fire department arrives they will most likely “drop the ceiling” to put the fire out. It’s too dangerous to put a body in the crawl space. The above mentioned fires can sometimes be addressed if discovered quickly. Videos on how to clean and replace these vents are coming soon!! Also the #2 house burner. Stay safe, friends! #fire #firefighter #firefightertiktok #firefighters #homeimprovement #renovation #diyproject #homeproject #homerenovation #needtoknow #lifehacks ♬ original sound - Jess
American Family Insurance的专家证实了Jess的警告。他们表示，很多情况下，风扇的异常状态常常被忽视。“变色、奇怪的声音和气味、风扇启动缓慢以及积尘等，都是风扇故障或潜在火灾的迹象。”他们建议应定期用湿布清洁风扇，并避免长时间持续运转。
为了降低火灾风险，专家们还建议，可以安装一个旋转定时开关，让风扇在几分钟后自动关闭，或者在手机上设置提醒，在开启15分钟后手动关闭风扇。这些简单的措施有助于减少火灾隐患。
