Recently, some media reported that a resident surnamed Liu in a township in Gulin County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, the hometown of liquor, was punished by the fire department and fined 23,000 yuan for storing 10 tons of 53-degree liquor in his house, which sparked heated discussions among many netizens.
As for the reason for the fine, the Gulin County Fire and Rescue Brigade discovered the above situation of the resident when carrying out the "Fire Safety Centralized Elimination and Rectification Operation", especially around the area where the liquor is stored, a large number of combustibles such as cartons are piled up, which has a serious risk of fire or even explosion. Many netizens are concerned about what is the basis for this punishment? Can you store liquor at home? How much can you store? What matters need to be paid attention to? You can't tremble with a few bottles of liquor at home!
The basis for the punishment for storing liquor at home
As a flammable liquid, especially high-grade liquor, the storage of liquor needs to strictly comply with relevant fire safety regulations. Storing liquor in large quantities can pose a safety hazard and can be devastating in the event of a fire or leak. As a result, the fire department has strict management and supervision measures for the storage of such items.
According to the mainland's fire regulations, no unit or individual is allowed to store flammable and explosive materials without permission, especially in densely populated places such as residential buildings. Such regulations are designed to ensure the safety of the public and prevent the occurrence of fires and other safety incidents.
Based on the above analysis, we can infer that the reason why the resident surnamed Liu was fined is likely to be because he violated the relevant fire regulations regarding the storage of flammable and explosive materials. Specifically, there may be no proper storage permits, or flammable liquids stored in excess of the specified amount in the resident's home. Therefore, the fire department punished him in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.
In the "Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China", it is clearly stipulated that the place of production, storage and operation of flammable and explosive dangerous goods shall not be set up in the same building as the place of residence, and shall keep a safe distance from the place of residence. Through the notice of rectification of major fire hazards issued by the local fire department, we can see that it is precisely because the large amount of liquor stored is in the same building as the place of residence, and it is a 53-degree high liquor, there is a potential danger of a major fire, so the penalty was given.
The upper limit of liquor storage at home
According to the above provisions of the Fire Protection Law, flammable and explosive dangerous goods cannot be stored in the residence, so does liquor necessarily belong to flammable and explosive dangerous goods?
The answer is not necessarily. Because according to the relevant provisions of the "Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings", liquor with an alcohol content of 38 degrees and above is classified as a Class A article in the fire hazard classification, and a Class A article is a flammable and explosive dangerous goods, so a liquor with a temperature of 38 degrees and above will be recognized as a flammable and explosive dangerous goods.
Therefore, for liquor with an alcohol content of less than 38 degrees, it does not belong to the category of flammable and explosive dangerous goods, and under normal circumstances, the fire department will not put forward the upper limit of storage for this.
So, for liquor above 38 degrees, is it impossible to store it at home, the answer is not. Friends who buy a few boxes and bottles at home can rest assured, but for hundreds or thousands of boxes or hundreds of pounds of loose wine, there must be a problem.
By looking for the specific content of the special rectification carried out by the fire departments of some cities to carry out the safety of stored liquor in urban areas, we can see that it is generally said that the scope of rectification is to store a large number of liquor of 38 degrees and above in cans, jars, bottles and other containers in the corresponding places.
What is "substantial"? This estimate varies from place to place by fire department, but one of the most important criteria is the degree of fire hazard.
What kind of liquor can be stored at home?
As mentioned earlier, there is generally no clear limit on the amount of liquor stored at home below 38 degrees, and a little more or less should be fine, and it will not be recognized as flammable and explosive by the fire department, and the focus of supervision will not be here.
Then, when storing liquor above 38 degrees, if you want to avoid being rectified by the fire department in the future, then the following points must be met:
One is that the number should be smaller. Whether it is finished wine or bulk wine, it must not be placed in hundreds of catties or tons with a total weight.
Second, if the quantity is large, it is necessary to improve the fire protection facilities in the liquor storage area in accordance with the national fire safety technical standards to eliminate the potential safety hazards of liquor storage. At the same time, we will strengthen the management of storage safety and purchase fire public liability insurance. It can only be stored after fire safety appraisal by the fire department.
Third, if the fire department determines that it does not have the storage conditions, then it must immediately relocate the stored liquor to a place with the corresponding technical standards for fire safety, and take safety measures such as fire prevention and leakage prevention during the relocation and transfer process.
