Self-built house fire
Frequent "deaths"
The potential danger should not be underestimated
What is a self-built house?
Self-built houses are houses and buildings built by units and individuals who own their own land and organize them by themselves and hire others to construct them. Self-built houses are the mainstream of traditional construction methods in mainland China, especially in urban villages and rural areas, where almost all residents use self-built houses to meet their living needs.
Self-built houses have always been the hardest hit areas of fatal fires, especially the self-built houses of production and operation rental villages (residents), and fire accidents with mass deaths and injuries occur from time to time.
