A letter to the general public
Friends of the general public:
The anti-theft window (net) used to be the "guard net" for the personal and property safety of residents, but now it is the "barricade net" and "life-killing net" on the life passage when a fire accident occurs. In order to deeply learn the lessons of the accident and create a good fire safety environment, in accordance with the provisions of the "Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China", the relevant matters related to the removal of windows and nets are hereby notified as follows:
1. Carry out fire safety self-inspection
It is necessary to inspect the external windows of the places where they work, study, and live, and if the external windows of densely populated places are equipped with iron fences, anti-theft windows (nets), billboards and other obstacles that affect evacuation and fire fighting and rescue, they should be removed and cleaned up immediately.
2. Maintain the smooth flow of the "life channel".
Fire truck passages, evacuation stairs, evacuation walkways are also "life channels", no unit or individual shall occupy, block, close, should be civilized parking, standardized parking, should be timely clean up public stairwells and walkways of private debris, keep the safe passage unobstructed.
3. Do a good job in fire prevention
Teach children not to play with fire. If you are cooking, burning incense, or lighting candles indoors, you should remove the combustible and flammable materials around you, and do not leave people on site. Civilized smoking, do not throw cigarette butts at will. To achieve "three clearances and three clearances", that is, to clear the corridor, clear the balcony, clean the kitchen, turn off the power supply, turn off the gas source, and turn off the fire source.
Fourth, master the necessary escape skills
In case of fire, do not be greedy for property, calmly and calmly escape quickly in the direction of evacuation passage and safety exit; after confirming safety, call 119 for the first time; if you are trapped by smoke and fire and cannot escape the scene, you should close the door and block the crack of the door with wet towels and clothes to prevent smoke from intruding and strive for rescue time.
Abandon a cold anti-theft window (net) in exchange for a safer fire safety environment and a brighter scenery outside the window. For the safety of your life and property and that of others, please dismantle and modify the obstacles such as anti-theft windows (nets) and billboards that affect escape and fire fighting and rescue in densely populated places in the city as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also hoped that the general public will supervise the demolition and modification of obstacles such as anti-theft windows (nets) that affect escape and fire fighting and rescue set up in other places, jointly ensure the smooth passage of life, never let the tragedy repeat, and resolutely open up the last line of escape defense.
During life
Fires caused by "windows" occur frequently
I hope the general public will pay attention!!
Let's review it together
1
Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region
At about 20:37 on June 21, 2023, a particularly serious gas explosion occurred at Fuyang Barbecue Restaurant in Xingqing District, Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, killing 31 people and injuring 7 others.
The accident investigation report pointed out that after the gas leakage explosion and fire, due to the lack of evacuation, the partition wall where the only staircase passage was blown up was seriously blocked, and the windows facing the street on the second floor were blocked and completely blocked by anchored and welded steel billboards, the escape of personnel was seriously affected, resulting in the expansion of casualties.
2
Changchun City, Jilin Province
At 12:40 on September 28, 2022, a major fire accident occurred at Hongyu Small Oil Cake People's Restaurant in Changchun City, Jilin Province, killing 17 people and injuring 3 others.
The preliminary investigation showed that the restaurant carried out the "gas to oil" transformation in violation of regulations, did not carry out construction in a state of suspension in accordance with the regulations, and chose to carry out construction work during peak business hours and crowded hours, and risked fire operations in violation of regulations, and some windows were blocked by advertising plaques and anti-theft windows, which eventually led to a tragedy.

Zhecheng County, Henan Province
On June 25, 2021, a major fire accident occurred in Zhenxing Wuguan, Zhecheng County, Beijie Village, Yuanxiang Town, Zhecheng County, Henan Province, killing 18 people and injuring 11 others.
The cause of the fire was caused by the use of mosquito coils to accidentally ignite combustible materials such as cartons and clothing. One of the main causes of casualties is that the escape routes do not meet the requirements. There was only one open staircase between the first and second floors of the Zhenxing Martial Arts Hall, and after the fire, the stairwell was quickly filled with high temperature and toxic smoke, and it was difficult for the students living on the second floor to escape through the stairs. The four exterior windows of the student dormitory on the west side of the second floor are all equipped with anti-theft nets, and students cannot escape through the external windows on the west side.
Youxi Fire reminds everyone
