According to Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thang Long, before the Prime Minister issued Directive 19, after inspecting and reviewing more than 60,400 establishments, more than 15,700 establishments still violated fire prevention and fighting regulations.
Of these, more than 13,900 are boarding houses and rental houses; 930 are combined residential and commercial housing with high risk of fire and explosion. Currently, most boarding houses, rental houses and residential and commercial housing are complying with fire safety conditions like individual houses.
Therefore, compliance with fire safety conditions as prescribed by law for types of boarding houses, rented rooms, houses combined with production and business have not ensured escape routes, and are not equipped with fire safety means and systems. The electrical system is not safe, overloaded with electricity during peak hours, and people living inside boarding houses have not been fully informed and equipped with fire safety knowledge...
More than 5,000 houses, rental houses, and individual houses combined with production and business are at risk of ceasing operations due to failure to ensure fire safety.
Faced with this situation, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has directed departments, branches, and sectors, especially the City Police, to inspect and review fire safety and rescue conditions. Any violations will be strictly handled according to the provisions of law.
After Directive 19 of the Prime Minister took effect, Ho Chi Minh City Police directed the Police of units and localities to continue to strengthen the review, guidance, and inspection of facilities that still have violations of fire prevention and fighting regulations to promptly remedy them.
In which, strengthen propaganda, disseminate knowledge, and guide fire prevention and fighting and search and rescue skills for people.
Up to now, Ho Chi Minh City still has 5,155 establishments including houses, rental houses, individual houses combined with production and business that still have violations of fire prevention and fighting regulations, a decrease of 61.5% compared to the time before Directive 19 was issued.
Of which, there are 4,737 establishments in the form of boarding houses, rooming houses for rent and 418 establishments in the form of housing combined with production and business.
Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thang Long informed that from now until March 30, Ho Chi Minh City Police will direct the Police of units and localities to closely monitor and instruct owners of boarding houses, houses for rent, and houses combining production and business with high risk of fire and explosion to immediately correct existing violations.
After the above period, if the boarding house owners do not ensure fire safety, they will have to stop operating.
