Nanjing high-rise residential fire safety is worrying

On January 2, a high-level fire broke out in the upper reaches of the Chuncheng New Town in Nanjing. When the fire brigade arrived, the fire hydrant did not even flow in a single drop of water. However, the frequent fires in civilian homes did not make the fire safety of residential buildings pay attention. The Yangzi Evening News reporter Several days of frequent visits to Nanjing's high-rise residential buildings have encountered strange events: fire hoses in some residential areas have been placed for 14 years without replacement, and fire extinguishers “born” 16 years ago are still on duty—the management of high-rise residential fire safety is missing. Embarrassing.

More than ten years ago, the fire hose has not changed

Yinxiang Apartment near Chaotian Temple is an old residential area built in 1998. Chen Xiaofeng, who has lived here for more than ten years, has a fear for the fire that once took place in the community.

She recalled that the fire was caused by the house where an old couple lived. At that time, the two old people left the house and left behind to forget to turn off the fire. The soot burnt down the public stack and burned quickly. Residents rushed to the police, but when the fire brigade arrived, they discovered that the fire pressure in the community was not enough, so it was a toss and the water squirt was successfully delivered to the water building. However, at this time, the fire in the house had already become a fire. After the firefighters struggled to save the fire, the fire was finally controlled.

Although through the experience of the fire, the residents of the community had a more real understanding of the importance of fire safety, but Chen Xiaofeng, who was attentive, told the Yangzi Evening News reporter unhappily that they had already had more than a dozen fire hoses in their high-rise buildings. Year has not changed. In Building No. 1 in Yinxiang Apartment, the Yangzi Evening News reporter saw the fire hydrant box inside the hall. With the cooperation of the property staff, the reporter opened a door of a fire hydrant box, perhaps because of the long equipment inside. Untouched, the dust immediately lifted when the door opened.

"At least 14 years have not been changed. Is this water useful?" Facing the open water belt, Chen Xiaofeng said worriedly. In her mind, these fire hoses have never been managed since they were put into fire hydrant boxes.

The reporter was somewhat curious. When did these life-saving fire hoses come into production? The reporter opened one of the rolled ribbons and wanted to inquire about the above production date. However, after investigating several fire hoses, it was probably because of the time and wear and tear. Not only that, but also the production date of the fire hydrant inside the fire hydrant box was worn off. Chen Xiaofeng said that she very much hopes that the fire department will be able to troubleshoot the fire hazards of their communities and not to make the fire facilities a decoration.

The owner's inverted bicycle seals the fire hydrant door

The Yee King Garden in the Gulou District is also a high-rise community built in the 1990s in Nanjing. The high-level fire hazards here also surprised the Yangtze Evening News reporters.

On the second floor of No. 27 Yee King Garden, an old bicycle was twisted upside down and tied to the iron pipe on the iron pipe on the side of the fire exit. The reporter originally thought that there was no fire hydrant box in the passage, but he approached after approaching the inverted bicycle. However, he found a corner of the fire hydrant box. Because the bicycle was closely adhered, the poor box door could not be opened.

“This bike has been put here for three or four years.” When the Yangzi Evening News reporter saw the photo, Ms. Zhang said that she did not know who the bike was. At the beginning, everyone still felt that it was not safe. , But after a long time, no one will manage this again. However, from her heart, if the house is on fire, it is indeed very unsafe.

After leaving the blocked fire hydrant box, the Yangzi Evening News reporter walked up the safe passage and went to the 5th floor fire exit. When the passageway suddenly became narrow, it became a pile of decoration waste. Warehouse, and parked on the side of the "warehouse" a bicycle, making the already narrow channel becomes more difficult to pass.

“Stacking things in the fire exits is already normal, and we have no way of managing property.” A property management staff from Yijing Garden told the Yangzi Evening News that the situation of stacking things in the residential areas is very common. They also promoted them to residents. The security risks of doing so have no effect. The property management officer said that during the two years he worked, he did not see the fire department checking in the community.

Fire extinguisher in "safety community" spent 16 years

At the entrance to the community, there are two high-rises at No. 117, Chengyin Street, where "safety community" plaques are hanging. After the Yangzi Evening News reporter visited the building, it was found that the high-rises here are not safe. When the reporter came to the 3rd floor, only two solitary fire hydrant valves were left on the wall of the fire hydrant boxes. The fire hose that should have been matched with them had already disappeared. During the entire visit, the Yangzi Evening News reporter found that almost every level of the fire hydrant box that should be equipped, there is a "less than two catty" situation, not only that, but also for the fire hose and fire hydrant docking steel interface have been off Obviously, there is no way for this device to allow normal use of firefighting facilities.

At the exit of a high-rise four-story elevator in the community, the Yangzi Evening News reporter saw two portable fire extinguishers covered with dust. The front of the fire extinguisher clearly marked the fire extinguisher should be overhauled every year, but when the reporter saw The inspection sign behind the fire extinguisher could not help but be shocked. It clearly stated that the inspection date was May 1998, which means that after the fire extinguisher had been deployed at the time of the building, it had never been related to it. test. The fire extinguisher in the whole building of this community is basically this batch. Can we still use the fire extinguisher that has passed 16 years?

In No.78 Residential Quarter of Houzaimen Dongcun, this belongs to the residential building of the Nanjing alkylbenzene factory. When the Yangzi Evening News reporter and the guard explained that they were visiting on the issue of fire safety, the guard teacher patronizes the chest and said that this building was in 1987. 10 As the months have been built, there have been no security problems for so many years. However, when the Yangzi Evening News reporter walked into the corridor, he found that the fire hydrant boxes from the first floor to the top floor were completely crucified with iron pieces. The unarmed people had no way to open them. Later, the Yangzi Evening News reporter learned that the purpose of doing so is to prevent thieves from stealing fire-fighting equipment. However, in the event of a fire, how could such a sealed fire hydrant box be put into use quickly?

Who is responsible for the fire control facilities?

Residential property

The property fee does not have this cost and cannot be managed

Faced with fire hoses that have not been replaced in more than a decade in their communities, the director of Baiquan Property Management Co., Ltd., who has just taken over the property management of Yinxiang District, bluntly stated that he understands that in the service content of the residential property charges approved by the Price Bureau The safety inspection of fire facilities is not listed, and there is no fire-fighting facility management part in the property fees collected in their communities. Therefore, the daily inspection of fire-fighting facilities is out of their service content.

According to White Director, the fire protection facilities in the community should be taken care of by professionals. It is obviously somewhat difficult for property management personnel without professional knowledge to take charge of management.

In addition to lack of professional maintenance technology, lack of funds is also an important reason for the aging of fire protection facilities. The property management director of another community bluntly stated that the issue of safety of fire-fighting facilities has long been a problem. Now that we have to solve it, we must have funds. However, the maintenance fund is limited, and tenants’ views are not uniform. They are very troublesome to deal with. They have also coordinated this before. However, nothing came of it. It was really too difficult for the property management company to coordinate the funds.

fire Department

Less staff, residential community has entrusted others

Property management companies are reluctant to conduct safety inspections of fire protection facilities within the community. Who will regularly inspect the fire protection facilities in residential areas? The Yangzi Evening News reporter then dialed the phone number of a district-level fire brigade in Nanjing as a community owner.

On the phone, the reporter proposed to worry about the safety of the fire protection facilities in the district where he lived, and questioned the property management inaction. However, the other party stated that because of the small number of personnel, the current fire protection facilities in the residential area have not been inspected and regulated by the fire department. She asked the Yangzi Evening News reporter to consult the police station within the jurisdiction, because each police station would set up a fire safety officer to take charge of the area. Fire safety. However, in the residential quarters visited by the Yangzi Evening News reporter, almost no residential property management has ever received regular inspections by fire safety personnel.

CPPCC members

Determine the first person responsible for fire safety in residential buildings

After several years of use in high-rise residential communities in Nanjing, fire hazards abound, and the management and maintenance of fire-fighting facilities needs to be strengthened. In an interview with the Yangzi Evening News reporter, Li Xiaoxia, member of Nanjing Municipal CPPCC Committee, pointed out that relevant departments should promptly conduct a large-scale firefighting investigation on high-rise buildings throughout the city. For high-rise residential buildings, the property management company should establish the first person responsible for the supervision of fire protection facilities. Fire-fighting facilities should also be subject to an annual review like an elevator. The funds for the maintenance and updating of fire-fighting equipment can be included in the expenses of the housing maintenance fund. In addition, the fire and transportation departments should join hands to ensure the smooth flow of fire loops in residential areas. The planned and constructed firefighting loop shall not be used for any other purpose. Obstacles to high-rise residential fire fighting must be removed and the roadside fire hydrant must be fully functional. She stressed that the most important thing in firefighting is awareness prevention, which is a long-term commitment, and temporary relaxation may incur irreparable consequences.
