The tragedy once again sounded fire safety alarms at the cost of life. What are the lessons to be learned by property companies and owners, as managers and residents of communities, respectively
Property company: security responsibility over tarzan
The security of construction materials is the first level. The investigation revealed that the alleged use of exterior materials that did not meet fire protection standards during the fire was an important cause of the spread of the fire. When choosing to refurbish and maintain materials, property companies must put fire safety first, scrutinize the fire levels of materials and eliminate the use of flammable materials。
Day-to-day inspection and maintenance cannot be formalized. Property companies need to put in place a systematic fire safety inspection system to check the integrity of the fire facility on a daily basis, test the alarm system on a weekly basis and fully screen security hazards on a monthly basis. The inspection records are to be completed in detail and the problems are immediately corrected。
Fire passages must be strictly managed. Access to life is directly related to the safety of the population. Property needs to be effectively responsible for managing, cleaning up and clearly marking passages in a timely manner, and resolutely stopping the use of fire tunnels。
Emergency drills need to come to fruition. The regular organization of fire drills is inoperable, and staff are given skills such as fire rescue and evacuation guidance. At the same time, the participation of the population is organized to enhance the emergency response capacity of the community as a whole。
Establish a transparent security management system. Regular disclosure of fire safety to owners, establishment of a mechanism for reporting and feedback on security hazards, involvement of owners in oversight, and joint security management efforts。
Owners and residents: a sense of self-protection is indispensable
To understand the security of the living environment. Owners should take the initiative to find out the location of fire-fighting facilities and safe exit routes in the buildings and check for security risks in public areas. The identification of security concerns requires a timely response to the property and a joint drive for improvement。
Family fire prevention measures need to be put in place. Each family should be equipped with the necessary fire-fighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers, escape ropes, etc. Household circuits are regularly checked to avoid overloading. The fire in the kitchen is guarded at all times, ensuring that the source is completely extinguished before leaving。
Development of practical family escape programmes. Family members are required to jointly identify at least two escape routes and to agree on assembly sites. In particular, basic escape skills for the elderly and children are taught and family exercises are conducted regularly。
Basic firefighting knowledge. Learning how to fight different fires. Remember not to take lifts in fire, not to be greedy about property。
Actively involved in community security. In conjunction with a fire drill organized by the property industry, attention is paid to the safe management of the community, mutual assistance with neighbours and a safe and secure community environment。
Learn from the tragedy and build safe homes together
This fire warns us that security management requires the joint efforts of property companies and owners. In order to ensure the safety of the population, the property companies must strictly discharge their managerial responsibilities; the industry is primarily involved in security awareness and active management。
Security checks are regularized. Safety cannot wait until an accident has occurred and security checks have to be integrated into daily life and management。
Security inputs must be adequately secured. Safety inputs are the most worthwhile investment in the upgrading of fire facilities, materials selection, etc., which cannot be reduced to save money。
Security awareness needs to be deep. Making security a conscious act for everyone through continuous education and exercises。
Life is only once, and security cannot be repeated. Let us learn carefully from this tragedy, act immediately, look at the security risks around us and jointly protect our beautiful homeland。
