TPO - For reasons of security, safety and more space, many apartments in old collective housing areas and individual houses have been expanded by residents to become "tiger cages". However, making "tiger cages" will pose a potential danger when a major fire or explosion occurs in the apartment.
On the morning of May 30, a fire broke out at a rented house in Ba La (Ha Dong district, Hanoi).
According to observations, the house on fire was built as a tight "tiger cage". Therefore, when a fire broke out, rescue operations encountered many difficulties.
According to our research, in Hanoi there are tens of thousands of "tiger cages" built by people for the reason of ensuring security and safety for children. However, many experts say that "tiger cages" are a danger to people's health and lives if a fire or explosion occurs.

In old apartment buildings in the inner city, most apartments are expanded to make tiger cages to increase the usable area. Because the actual area of many apartments is only 20-40m2, but when expanded and made into tiger cages, it increases to 50-70m2. |

Behind a collective house in Thanh Cong ward are dozens of tiger cages protruding outside. |

A "tiger cage" precariously located without support is very dangerous. |

An old apartment building on Nguyen Trai Street also has many tiger cages. |
 |
Not only collective houses, many houses in Chinh Kinh alley also built tiger cages for security reasons. |

In fact, individual apartments are also turned into tiger cages by people. For example, a single house on Nguyen Doan Toan Street has been turned into a tiger cage, however this poses many potential risks. |

A private house on Nguyen Tuan street has been built into a sealed tiger cage. |

Individual houses in small alleys on Chinh Kinh Street are also made into "tiger cages". This is very dangerous in case of fire or explosion. |
