Launching a fire and explosion safety propaganda campaign in the area with 95 old apartment buildings

Through inspection, the ward has many old collective housing areas (95 collective houses) built since 1986, degraded, infrastructure is not guaranteed, no design and arrangement of water pipes; there are many businesses with high risk of fire; entrances to collective houses are small and narrow, causing more difficulties when a fire or explosion occurs.

From March 28 to April 4, the People's Committee of Nghia Tan Ward established and directed 2 interdisciplinary teams to conduct inspections and post-inspections of fire safety and rescue conditions for 110 multi-storey residential buildings, multi-apartment buildings, and individual houses combined with production and business in the ward under the management of the People's Committee of the ward. As a result, 108/110 facilities had violations that had not been resolved. Based on the above situation, the People's Committee of the ward issued a notice requesting the suspension of operations to correct the shortcomings and deficiencies in fire safety and rescue for facilities that did not meet the requirements.

Mr. Ta Truong Giang, Chairman of Nghia Tan People's Committee, Cau Giay District, said that in the implementation plan, Nghia Tan Ward especially noted two contents on "Recommending the implementation of contents on ensuring fire safety and rescue for multi-storey houses, multi-apartment houses, individual houses combined with production and business"; "Continuing to strengthen fire safety and rescue for multi-apartment houses, houses combined with production and business and rental houses in Nghia Tan Ward".
