Electrical short circuits and no escape routes are the leading causes of fire damage.

On the afternoon of June 19, continuing the program of the 7th session of the 15th National Assembly, National Assembly deputies of Hai Duong province discussed in group 14 the draft Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue and the Law on People's Air Defense.

Lieutenant General Nguyen Hai Hung, Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on National Defense and Security, highly appreciated the responsible comments of the delegates on the two draft laws reviewed by the National Assembly's Committee on National Defense and Security.

Commenting on the draft Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue, delegate Nguyen Hai Hung affirmed that the promulgation of this law is very necessary. According to the delegate, the current risk and reality of fire and explosion are very clear, and the causes are also many. Through direct participation in two supreme supervision delegations of the National Assembly, it can be seen that there are almost no new causes of fire, mainly due to electrical short circuits and great damage due to lack of escape routes.

"These causes are not new and are still existing. Houses in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have difficulty arranging a second opening and about 70% of fires are caused by electrical problems. Some of these houses have been built for decades and the electrical system is prone to short circuits and fires," delegate Nguyen Hai Hung stated the current situation.

Delegate Nguyen Hai Hung also agreed with the opinion of delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga, member of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, on the proposal that there should be regulations on the model of housing combined with business and production in the law and that this type also needs to be approved for fire prevention and fighting safety.

From the practical experience of fire prevention and fighting in recent times, delegate Nguyen Hai Hung suggested that it is necessary to focus on promoting the role of the inter-family fire prevention and fighting safety team and that there should be regulations on this force in the law.

Also interested in giving comments on the draft Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue, delegate Nguyen Ngoc Son, Standing Member of the National Assembly's Committee on Science, Technology and Environment, said that in practice, the planning of fire prevention and fighting infrastructure still has many shortcomings and requested clarification in this draft law. At the same time, the standards and regulations on fire prevention and fighting in Article 9 of the draft law are unclear and need to be studied and clarified, closely following relevant regulations and policies.
