This Diwali, Safety Products Deserve a Place Beside the Diyas
Diwali is almost here. The lights are ready, the crackers are stocked, and the markets are buzzing. For those of you supplying fire safety products, this is also the season to make sure your clients are prepared.
Celebrations can turn risky within seconds. A diya topples, a cracker misfires, or decorative lights overload a circuit. That is why you need to remind your customers that prevention starts before the first spark. Tools like the Elide Fire Ball and trusted fire blankets are not festive extras. They are essentials.
Fire Hazard Numbers You Should Not Overlook
The figures from 2024 show how urgent this is:
- Tamil Nadu: 150 fire accidents during Diwali, causing one death and 544 injuries. Most were linked to crackers.
- Delhi: Over 300 incidents in one night. A record 318 emergency calls, 280 fire-related, with most between 10 pm and midnight.
- Surat: Calls rose from fewer than 25 on a normal day to 61 on November 1.
- Firework factories nationwide: 91 fatalities between April 2023 and March 2024. Annual deaths are estimated at 50–100.
These figures prove why equipment like a self-activating fire ball or a fire protection blanket should already be in place before celebrations begin.
Hazards During Diwali Vs. Tools That Help
Every Diwali, the same patterns of fire incidents repeat. It means either the people are ignorant or they don’t have access to smart tools that prevent things from getting out of hand. Of course, the second reason seems more logical.
By matching common hazards with the right tools, you can prevent emergencies before they escalate.
| Common Hazard | Preventive Step | Safety Tool to Supply |
|---|---|---|
| Diyas near curtains | Place diyas on stable, non-flammable surfaces and keep them away from drapes | Fire blanket to smother flames |
| Crackers near homes or vehicles | Use open areas only and maintain safe distance from buildings and people | Elide Fire Ball for automatic suppression |
| Overloaded decorative lights | Use quality wiring, distribute loads and avoid daisy-chaining connections | Fire extinguisher placed nearby for quick use |
| Kitchen fire while cooking | Never leave the stove unattended; keep oils and cloths away from heat | Fire blanket for immediate control |
Why This Season Demands Extra Preparation
Diwali combines every possible ignition source:
Diyas, crackers, decorative lights, crowds, and packaging.
Shops and homes stay open longer, and combustible items build up quickly. Even a small spark can spread in seconds, which is why the speed of response is critical.
Automatic Protection With Elide Fire Ball
The Elide Fire Ball activates on contact with flames, usually within seconds. Unlike traditional extinguishers, it requires no training and works even if no one is present. This self-activating design makes it an ideal safeguard for:
- Factories and warehouses where workers may not reach the fire immediately
- Offices with electrical panels or server rooms
- Homes and balconies decorated with diyas and lights
It is widely recognised as a fire extinguisher ball, fire safety ball, or warehouse fire protection ball, and is valued because it remains on standby at all times.
Fire Blankets For Hands-On Control
There are many moments when someone is present at the scene. That is when a fire blanket becomes the quickest way to control flames.
- Kitchens: A safety fire blanket or portable fire blanket can smother flames from cooking oil or toppled diyas.
- Laboratories: A laboratory fire blanket or high temperature fire blanket helps maintain safe conditions at all times.
- Workshops: A welding fire blanket or an industrial fire blanket is necessary to handle sparks and heat.
- Institutions: A school fire safety blanket or office fire protection blanket ensures added protection in public spaces.
Options such as reusable fire blankets, large size fire blankets, and those supplied with a fire blanket with case make it easy for organisations to choose according to their environment.
