Investing in building new markets to develop trade and create convenience for people. However, many markets have been completed for a year but have not been able to open due to fire prevention and fighting regulations.
Phu Yen Market, Tran Phu Ward (Hai Duong City) belongs to the investment project of construction, management and business of Phu Yen Market, invested by Hai An - Phu Yen Market Investment, Construction, Management and Exploitation Cooperative.
Phu Yen Market is a class I market with more than 600 fixed business locations, with a total investment of more than 290 billion VND. The market started construction in 2019, and after 2 years of construction, the market has basically been completed.
The new Phu Yen Market consists of a main building with 5 floors above ground and 1 basement. Of the 5 floors above ground of the project, the 1st and 2nd floors still maintain the traditional market model selling essential goods for people's lives. The 3rd floor sells high-end, modern goods; the 4th and 5th floors arrange auxiliary services such as sports, food and beverage, etc.
However, after more than 2 years of completion, the new Phu Yen market still cannot be put into operation because the fire prevention and fighting works do not meet the new regulations. For example, the old standard smoke exhaust system is guaranteed, but the new regulations must have their own characteristics: The chimney must be insulated, the power source for the exhaust fan must be a priority source... The common lobby areas that were previously left open now have to build fireproof walls, sliding door systems...
In mid-October, the Hai An - Phu Yen Market Investment, Construction, Management and Operation Cooperative is urgently completing fire prevention and fighting items according to regulations. The investor has spent more than 20 billion VND to overcome limitations in fire prevention and fighting such as having to fundamentally change the basement design, install a fireproof sliding door system, build fireproof walls, rebuild the main staircase system, replace the fire prevention and fighting smoke exhaust pipe system, etc.
“When initially designed, Phu Yen market had fire prevention and fighting items according to the regulations at that time. However, the market construction process was prolonged due to site clearance, the impact of the epidemic... When completed and the acceptance steps were carried out to put into use, the market did not ensure the new fire prevention and fighting regulations”, Mr. Vu Ngoc Tung, Deputy Director of the Cooperative for Investment, Construction, Management and Exploitation of Hai An - Phu Yen Market informed.
Traders at Phu Yen market hope that the market will be completed soon and put into use because the construction time has been prolonged. "We hope that the investor will soon complete the repair of fire prevention and fighting works so that the market can be put into operation soon," said Ms. Bui Thi Mai Huong, Quang Trung Street (Hai Duong City), a trader at the market.

The old Tram Bong Market (Gia Loc) has existed for a long time, except for a few kiosks and stalls that were planned and built in the 1980s, the rest were built by the vendors themselves over a long period of time. The infrastructure of Tram Bong Market is dilapidated, the roofs of the stalls are made of temporary patchwork of tiles and old corrugated iron, the market floor is much lower than the road surface. The lighting system and electric fans were all installed by the vendors themselves, so safety is not guaranteed.
In 2021, the investor, the People's Committee of Quang Minh commune, proposed that Thanh Cong Group Joint Stock Company sponsor the construction of a new Tram Bong market on a land area of more than 5,108 m2, then hand it over to the local government for management and exploitation.
With a total construction investment of over 10 billion VND, the new Tram Bong market has the scale of a class III people's market, with fire prevention and fighting items according to the regulations at that time.
However, the new market has not yet been put into use despite being completed in 2023 because some fire prevention items do not have an active fire prevention system... according to current regulations.
The old Sao Do market has seriously degraded and cannot survive, so about 50% of the traders with kiosks in the market have stopped selling. In August 2019, Chi Linh City invested in building a temporary Sao Do market for traders to move to in order to have a place to build a new market. The temporary market has a total area of 6,155 m2 with more than 480 business locations, the approved estimated value is about 11.5 billion VND.
The temporary market consists of two areas, one area near Viet Tien Son urban area, over 4,600 m2, has been completed and put into use. This area is for small traders selling agricultural products and fresh food. The other area, built on the land north of the old market, cannot be put into use yet because many construction items are not in accordance with new fire prevention and fighting regulations.
At the time of construction, the regulations on fire prevention and fighting here were quite simple, such as arranging fire extinguisher cabinets, emergency exits, etc. According to the new regulations, the market still lacks a lightning protection system, a heat-increasing ventilation system; design and approval of fire prevention and fighting designs, etc.
The Economic Department and Sao Do Market Management Board have worked with the Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue Police Department (Provincial Police) many times to find solutions. However, due to financial difficulties to gradually overcome these limitations, it is not known when this temporary market can be put into operation.
Most of these markets were designed with fire prevention and fighting items at the time of construction. However, when new regulations were issued, these projects were not guaranteed and could not be accepted for use.
To overcome these limitations, investors must spend at least 2-3 billion VND, or more, to invest in overcoming the limitations according to fire prevention and fighting regulations. However, not all localities or investors have the resources available to immediately overcome these limitations…
Therefore, in some places, there is still a paradox: small traders have to do business in dilapidated old markets that do not ensure safety in many aspects, including fire prevention and fighting, while the new markets are left empty.
From February 2021 to present, the Ministry of Public Security has issued many circulars guiding on fire prevention and fighting such as: Circular 149/2020/TT-BCA February 20, 2021 guiding the implementation of the Law on Fire Prevention and Fighting; Circular 17/2021/TT-BCA March 22, 2021 regulating the management, preservation and maintenance of fire prevention, fighting and rescue equipment...
On May 10, 2024, the Government issued a Decree amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 136/2020/ND-CP dated November 24, 2020 of the Government detailing a number of articles and measures to implement the Law on Fire Prevention and Fighting and the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Fire Prevention and Fighting and Decree No. 83/2017/ND-CP dated July 18, 2017 of the Government regulating rescue work of fire prevention and fighting forces.
