Many problems and shortcomings in fire prevention and fighting and search and rescue work
The working group inspected the field at Vuon Hoa market (Lam Son ward), Apartment 379 (Dong Huong ward), Dong Phat apartment (Dong Ve ward) and Office building 09 Hac Thanh.
Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Mai Xuan Liem listened to the Management Board of Vuon Hoa Market and other sectors report on the current situation of fire prevention and fighting and search and rescue work at Vuon Hoa Market.
Through the actual inspection, it is shown that there are still many shortcomings, inadequacies, and problems in fire prevention and rescue work. In particular, at Vuon Hoa market, the solutions to prevent fire from spreading at the atrium, ventilation solutions, smoke prevention inside the market, and the fire water supply system inside and outside the house are not guaranteed; the automatic fire extinguishing system has not been equipped; the exit sign and lighting system have problems.
In addition, the emergence of stalls and stalls that do not comply with the original planning and design of the market leads to encroachment on the roadway, sidewalk, and curb; the arrangement and placement of materials and goods by traders obstructs the walkways and escape routes in the market, the roadway, sidewalk, and curb outside the market.
Some fast food stalls have sprung up near parking lots and markets. Some small businesses have placed their goods in the space between parking lots and markets, leading to loss of space and failure to ensure fire safety distance.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee and the working delegation inspected the fire prevention and fighting work at apartment building 379.
Dong Phat apartment complex has not installed fire alarm and fire fighting systems inside and outside the house according to regulations. The stairs in the house are left open, leading to failure to prevent smoke and fire from spreading between floors. The first floor of the apartment is a common living space used as a parking lot, containing a lot of gasoline and oil, which can easily lead to fire, explosion, and smoke escaping through the stairs to the floors. The electrical system infrastructure is not safe, which can easily lead to short circuits and cannot ensure the operation of fire trucks when an incident occurs. There is no document approving the results of fire prevention and fighting acceptance according to regulations. Construction is not in accordance with the approved fire prevention and fighting design...

Enhance responsibility, determination and synchronization in fire prevention and fighting work
Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Mai Xuan Liem spoke at the meeting.
After the actual inspection, speaking at the working session with relevant departments, branches and units, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Mai Xuan Liem directed: For Vuon Hoa market, Thanh Hoa city needs to promptly review the boundaries and permitted scope of market operations related to fire prevention and fighting. For items that have not yet completed fire prevention and fighting conditions, the investor and the Market Management Board need to soon have a plan to complete them. At the same time, strengthen inspection, supervision, and arrange on-site human resources to serve fire prevention and fighting work, ensuring safety for people, small traders and business households at the market. Arrange sales kiosks and reasonable walkways to facilitate fire prevention and fighting work.
The investor reviews and proposes a business arrangement plan at Vuon Hoa market to ensure the highest safety in fire prevention and rescue work, minimizing possible fires; strengthens propaganda, develops plans for coordination in fire prevention and rescue when incidents occur, especially regarding water sources, means, equipment, and on-site fire prevention and rescue tools.
For apartment buildings and technical service and commercial buildings (Apartment 379, Dong Phat Apartment, Office Headquarters 09 Hac Thanh), the Department of Construction strengthens the actual inspection of technical infrastructure, functions, licensing of apartment buildings, high-rise technical buildings, large commercial service areas. From there, coordinate with the Provincial Police, Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department to inspect the compliance and full implementation of legal regulations on fire prevention and rescue from infrastructure, facilities serving fire prevention and rescue, arrangement of emergency exits...
The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assigned the People's Committee of Thanh Hoa City and the People's Committees of local wards to develop fire prevention and fighting and rescue plans for each apartment building; strengthen inspection of fire prevention and fighting implementation in apartment buildings; and build a grassroots fire prevention and fighting force with the motto "four on-site".
The Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department needs to closely coordinate with local authorities and relevant units to strengthen propaganda on fire prevention and fighting; ensure technical infrastructure, water sources, equipment and tools for fire prevention and fighting; and improve the effectiveness of the "Fire Prevention and Rescue Inter-family Team".
Propaganda, dissemination of knowledge, as well as training, practice, and drills on fire prevention and fighting and search and rescue need to be strengthened to raise awareness, responsibility, and skills for people in apartment buildings, technical, commercial, and service buildings.
Departments and branches regularly inspect compliance and ensure fire prevention and fighting and search and rescue work according to the provisions of law, with special attention to the safety of people's lives.
For old apartment buildings without management boards such as Dong Phat apartment building (Dong Ve ward), Mai Xuan Duong apartment building (Dong Tho ward), Thanh Hoa city and wards should soon have plans to effectively implement fire prevention and fighting and rescue work in conjunction with building, consolidating and improving the effectiveness of the "Fire Prevention and Fighting Safety Inter-family Team" and the grassroots fire prevention and fighting force.
Thanh Hoa City presides over and coordinates with the Department of Construction to review and have plans to adjust parking lots in apartment buildings to have solutions to ensure fire safety.
Departments, branches, units, Thanh Hoa City, investors, and related enterprises complete the report on the current situation and actual situation of Vuon Hoa Market and other large markets; apartment buildings, technical buildings in Thanh Hoa City in particular, and in the province in general, from which recommendations, proposals, and solutions are sent to the Provincial People's Committee as soon as possible. This is the basis for the Provincial People's Committee to organize a conference with departments, branches, units, and localities to discuss solutions to resolve existing problems and difficulties in implementing fire prevention and fighting work according to current new requirements.
