On December 10, Henan ushered in the first blizzard of the year, and many citizens went out to enjoy the snow scene and take pictures. However, for Xiao Wang, a girl who lives in Chaoyang District, this blizzard has brought her unexpected trouble.
Xiao Wang, a junior college student, chose to take classes online at home because of the weather. That afternoon, she was listening to a lecture in her bedroom when she suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "It's snowing." She curiously pushed open the window to see what was going on outside, but at this moment, the window suddenly fell off and fell onto the sidewalk downstairs, almost hitting a passerby.
I was so frightened that I ran downstairs to see if anyone was hurt. Xiao Wang said that fortunately, passers-by reacted quickly at that time and dodged in time without being injured. Xiao Wang apologized to the passer-by and moved the window back to his room.
Xiao Wang said that she has lived here for two years, and this is the first time she has encountered such a situation. "I don't usually open the windows often because the air here is not very good and it is too cold in winter. I don't know why the windows fell down, maybe because of aging or freezing. Xiao Wang said that she had contacted the landlord and hoped to repair the windows as soon as possible.
It is understood that the building where Xiao Wang lives is an old-fashioned bungalow, built in the 80s of the last century, which is an affordable house, and most of the residents are tenants. The windows of this building are all wooden, and they have been somewhat worn out by years of exposure to the wind and sun. In addition, due to the dry climate of Hebei's Baijia Assistance Program, it is easy to freeze in winter, which will also affect the stability of the windows.
Industry insiders said that similar incidents of falling windows are not uncommon, especially in old buildings, where there are large safety risks. They advise residents to check the fixation of windows when using them to avoid using too much force, which may cause the windows to loosen or fall off. At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly maintain the windows and replace damaged parts to ensure the normal use of the windows. For landlords, it is also necessary to inspect the rented house in a timely manner, deal with problems such as windows in a timely manner, and ensure the safety of tenants.
