Comprehensive change across the area
On the afternoon of September 15, Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh chaired an online conference to implement Official Dispatch No. 796 dated September 13, 2023 of the Prime Minister.
Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh and delegates attending the conference took a minute to remember the 56 victims who died in the mini apartment fire.
Opening the conference, Colonel Duong Duc Hai, Deputy Director of Hanoi City Police, thoroughly grasped the important contents of Plan 234 dated September 15, 2023 of the City People's Committee on general inspection of law compliance for multi-apartment housing (commonly known as mini apartments) and rental service businesses throughout the area.
Mr. Hai especially noted that the general inspection must be carried out in accordance with the direction of the Chairman of the City People's Committee: "No forbidden zones, no exceptions".
Mr. Hai stated that the City Party Committee and the City People's Committee have given many specific instructions; in the first 6 months of the year, the Standing Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee also chaired 3 conferences to review and deploy the inter-family model, public fire fighting, comprehensively assess business establishments, causes and conditions leading to fires and explosions, violations, safe electricity management after the meter, etc.
The City Police Department issued Plan No. 234 dated June 19, 2023 on the implementation of the project on high-rise buildings, rental housing, and mini apartments.
Colonel Duong Duc Hai, Deputy Director of Hanoi City Police.
“We have proactively identified the types and solutions. There is no solution that we have not implemented. But have the Party committees and authorities at all levels really taken action?”, the Deputy Director of the City Police Department asked.
Emphasizing that propaganda work must be truly effective, Mr. Hai stated: “The general inspection must mobilize the strength of the entire population. Whether the inspection guides people on safety measures is a matter of concern. If we are resolute, people will support us. When people understand, support, self-regulate, and protect their lives and property, then we will be successful. Only then can many consequences be resolved.”
The Deputy Director of the City Police also noted that, following the direction of the Chairman of the City People's Committee, units need to develop a plan with a roadmap for implementing the plan and especially must have immediate measures to prevent incidents like the particularly serious mini-apartment fire in Thanh Xuan district.
“After implementing this plan, there must be comprehensive changes throughout the area,” the Deputy Director of the City Police Department emphasized.
Do not let unfortunate incidents happen
Concluding the conference, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh reminded that the mini apartment fire in Thanh Xuan was the most serious incident in the city so far. When the incident occurred, the city leaders immediately directed the scene to promptly overcome the consequences with close instructions from the Party leaders, the Prime Minister, the National Assembly leaders; the participation of the people...
Mr. Tran Sy Thanh affirmed that the city's fire prevention work has always been of concern and said: "We have done a lot. For example, with fire prevention management at karaoke bars, Hanoi has done very drastically, minimizing a lot of damage."
Mr. Thanh stated that the General Secretary had sent a letter to express his condolences and share the people's loss and suggested that Hanoi conduct a thorough review and learn from experience; the city needs to seriously implement this to report to the General Secretary and the Government as soon as possible.
The Chairman of Hanoi clearly stated: “We should not let the loss of 56 families of victims of the mini apartment fire become meaningless, but must become something that changes the awareness of Party committees and authorities at all levels, from the city to districts, wards and communes, about fire prevention and fighting. We need to promote the role of the entire political system and especially the people. If the people do not support, it will only be half successful.”
Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh concluded the conference.
At the same time, the direction and general inspection this time is to have a "combat" solution and people's support to reduce the risk of fire and explosion. To get people's support, the authorities must mobilize and provide specific instructions.
From there, the Chairman of Hanoi pointed out a number of specific things that need to be done immediately: Note that the risk of parking basements with a large number of motorbikes jostling each other is "the problem of when there will be a fire or explosion. There is no way to save a fire". While there is no criterion for a square meter to cover a motorbike, people must agree, arrange and manage themselves, the authorities will only provide guidance.
The Chairman of the City People's Committee also noted the risk of fire and explosion with electric bicycles when there are no technical criteria and standards; unsafe burning of votive paper...
“How many electrical outlets does a house have? People must be instructed on what is safe. This requires the participation of the entire political system, just like the clearance of the 4th Ring Road. We must participate and closely follow the people,” Mr. Tran Sy Thanh analyzed.
From the mini apartment fire in Thanh Xuan, the Chairman of Hanoi mentioned the need for escape ladders in case of fire or explosion in buildings and apartments with difficult escape routes and suggested: “If funding is difficult, mobilize the people to do it together. Saving one person is already extremely happy. The facility must research and have a specific way to do it.”
Mr. Tran Sy Thanh emphasized: "We must do something to change our awareness and that of the people. How to prevent unfortunate incidents from happening. Comrades, please come back and immediately and effectively implement the city's plan . "
