In particular, Hanoi currently has nearly 500,000 tube houses, of which over 120,000 houses are combined with service business, the facade is often sealed, lack of escape routes, ... These are the types when it happens. Fire and explosion will cause serious consequences to people and property.

Notably, there have been a number of particularly serious consequences, such as: the fire of Quan Karaoke 68 Tran Thai Tong, Cau Giay District on November 1, 2016, killing 13 people; a fire at a Chocolate factory combined with housing in Thuong village, Duc Thuong commune, Hoai Duc district on July 29, 2017, killing 8 people ...; CNCH collapsed at 43 Cua Bac, Ba Dinh district on August 4, 2016, killing 2 people.

 

Areas where fires occurred are concentrated in urban districts (accounting for about 75%). Mainly in private economic enterprises and houses (accounting for 75% to 80%). The number of large fires only accounts for 1 to 2%, but the damage accounts for about 80 to 85% because they occur in crowded places such as high-rise buildings, karaoke bars, restaurants, and restaurants.

 

Particularly, in the first 9 months of 2017, there were 626 cases, of which: 7 fires causing human damage, 09 fires causing great damage to property, 20 forest fires.

According to the head of the Legal Department of the City People's Council Nguyen Hoai Nam, the fires are mainly due to the poor awareness of the business and the people, in addition, the skills of fire fighting and escape are weak. Propaganda work is still extensive but not in depth; the coordination between districts is not good, in many places is lax.

 

According to Mr. Nam, the chairman of the commune and ward must be responsible for inspecting and urging the FPF work in the area. Departments focus on propaganda during the golden hours of television so that people have escape skills and fire prevention skills. In particular, the Party Committee of the City Party Committee needs to determine the responsibilities of the leaders of the communes and wards, the leaders must regularly check, control and urge.

 

Regarding the fire protection infrastructure, the city's fire hydrant is still lacking, some places do not have water. Many gas stations do not meet the fire protection requirements. Although there are relocation plans, there have been no specific reports yet.

 

Responding to this issue, the director of the Department of Industry and Trade said that over the past time, the Department has coordinated with the FPF police to list all facilities at risk of fire prevention, including 15 centers, 56 restaurants, 23 petrol and oil stores, 553 liquefied gas facilities. As for petrol stations, according to the old standards, these stores are safe enough for fire protection, but the new standards are not guaranteed.

 

“The Department of Industry and Trade has recently reported the city, if these stores are closed, there will be gas reserves in households, and the risk of fire will increase. Therefore, the Department has proposed to renovate petrol stations. Currently, the shops have been repaired, but there are still stores under the investment project. In the process of waiting for project implementation, they are still accepted for business ”- Director of the Department of Industry and Trade said and affirmed, the doors Gasoline and oil products that do not meet the fire protection standards were relocated.

Addressing this issue, Party Secretary Hoang Trung Hai emphasized that, although from 2016 up to now, although the city has intensified the inspection, handling and rectification of regulations on FPF, the situation has evolved. fire and explosion in the area are still very bad. The number of fires and deaths has increased over the years.

 

According to Party Secretary Hoang Trung Hai, FPF work needs to be done more drastically, focusing on 500,000 pipes with high fire risk. Firefighters must be strengthened in training and training more; Each production establishment and the people's house must have an escape plan.

 

Party committees and authorities at all levels need to go down to each commune, ward, and plan for each household; bring people into the subject of fire protection management and encourage people to buy fire alarm equipment. Each household not only buys a fire extinguisher but has to develop a fire protection plan for themselves. They must know how to escape if a fire occurs.

 

Appreciating the publicization of violations of fire prevention and fighting in the apartments, thanks to which many apartments have overcome the complete fire protection system, the Party Secretary emphasized that the inspection teams need to be more active, have specific handling, do not stop at violating publicity ...
