Fire Safety In Apartment Buildings

According to a report by the Ministry of Public Security, during the Lunar New Year 2023 (20/01 - 26/01/2023), 41 fires occurred nationwide: 23 house fires, 03 manufacture factory fires, 03 vehicle fires, 02 home business fires, 07 fires of other types and 03 forest fires.

As the year started, the fires became more and more complicated; they provided a wake-up call about the safety of apartments against fires. Therefore, not only the Management Board but also the residents need to be fully equipped with knowledge about fire prevention and handling it when an incident occurs.

Apartment buildings often have large usable spaces, complex functions, a high density of residents, and a large volume of materials, equipment, and flammable substances. In addition, the basement is the place to arrange many items, such as a parking garage, transformer station, warehouse, etc. When a fire occurs, the fire develops quickly and spreads toxic smoke through the ventilation holes that endanger residents. The main exit is the staircase, so when an incident occurs, the flow of people increases rapidly, making movement difficult and slower than usual.

According to statistics, more than 70% of the causes of fires and explosions in apartments are short circuits for many different reasons. However, to ensure the safety of people and property, when an incident occurs, residents need to:

  • Keep calm, be careful, and determine what to do. Your panic will make all the steps behind it will not highly effective.
  • Quickly alarm, warn, knock on each room's door, and at the same time notify the Building Management Board or use the loudspeaker to announce.
  • Quickly press the fire alarms for large-scale announcements.
  • Follow the nearest exit to move to the gathering area of the building

Along with residents, the Management Board plays a vital role in fire prevention. Regularly check electrical systems to minimize the possibility of damage or short circuits affecting the life quality of residents. At the same time, inspect the fire protection system, and organize training sessions regularly to provide more helpful information.

For example, after safe evacuation at the Saigon Asiana project, the Building Management Board coordinated with the district's fire protection team to control the fire, prevent fire spread and minimize damage and injury to the Clients. Our management team is continuously trained regularly about fire prevention to respond to emergencies. Our staff is always ready and dedicated to supporting the relevant departments when an incident occurs.
