Follow me and I will share some interesting stories and experiences on a regular basis to exchange educational experiences together.
Introduction: Recently, the tragic situation of a fire in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province has attracted widespread attention and deep thought. A cold storage renovation shop suddenly**, resulting in 39 deaths and 9 injuries. Although the fire started on the ground floor, a training institution for college students on the second floor became the focus of the tragedy. This article will describe the accident step by step, and analyze and summarize the causes of the large-scale **.
In a cold storage decoration shop on the street in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, a fire suddenly broke out. According to eyewitnesses, at first only billowing smoke could be seen, but no open flames could be seen. Many people jumped from the small window on the second floor to escape, and their frightened faces left a deep impression. This cold storage decoration shop is located on the basement floor, while the upstairs is a training institution for college students to upgrade to a bachelor's degree. As the fire quickly spread to the second floor, more than 40 university students in the classroom were unable to escape while receiving English lessons, and only a few lucky students survived. After nearly three hours of hard work, the fire was finally brought under control. A total of 39 university students were killed in the accident, while 12 people in charge of the institution have been detained.
1.Crowded Classroom Space: The classroom on the second floor is a large classroom with an area of 60 square meters and can accommodate more than 40 people. The classrooms are all made of wooden tables, chairs and benches, and the space is very crowded. As a flammable material, once it catches fire, wood burns extremely quickly, threatening the possibility of escape.
Expanding: That afternoon, the classroom on the second floor was packed with college students who love to learn. They lined up in neat seats and listened intently to the teacher's explanation. The wooden desks and chairs in the classroom are arranged closely together, and there is hardly a trace of gaps. In such a small space, it was already difficult to breathe. People's bodies are almost tightly connected to each other, making people feel suffocated. Who would have thought that this place, which was supposed to be a place for knowledge, would become a deadly trap for them.
2.Lack of safe passage: The training facility does not have a safe passage, only a small door for one person to pass through and a small window that cannot be opened for escape. In the thick smoke of the fire, if you don't get close to the escape exit, the chance of escape is extremely slim.
Expand: Smoke quickly fills the classroom, so thick that you can barely see everything in front of you. Everyone scurried around, trying to find a way to escape. However, there is only a narrow exit in front of me, which can only accommodate one person. Everyone scrambled to rush out, but they fell into the predicament of squeezing each other and not being able to pass smoothly. And the small window that could not be opened was like nothing, and it could not bring them any turnaround.
3.Threat of carbon monoxide poisoning: Heating stoves outside classrooms release large amounts of carbon monoxide in fires, leading to an extremely high risk of carbon monoxide poisoning for trapped students.
Expanded: The room is filled with a pungent smell of smoke, and the smoke seems to have an unbearable pungent smell. What makes the smoke even more lethal is the carbon monoxide hidden within. This colorless, odorless gas is difficult to detect, but extremely toxic. Students trapped in their rooms not only face the threat of fire, but also need to be constantly on the lookout for carbon monoxide.
4.Toxic chemical production: After the insulation material in the cold storage**, a large amount of smoke and toxic chemicals will be generated, which makes it extremely difficult to escape.
Expansion: The ** of thermal insulation materials in the cold storage makes the whole room filled with smoke in an instant. Black smoke swirled with flames, like a ferocious beast baring its teeth and claws. At the same time, the toxic chemicals produced when the material burns begin to disperse in the air, almost suffocating. Whether it was the fire or the threat of toxic substances, it put the students in a desperate situation.
1.Fire caused by illegal operation: The cold storage decoration worker operated in violation of regulations during the operation, igniting the insulation material, which led to the occurrence of fire.
Expansion: In order to complete the task as soon as possible, the cold storage decoration workers abandoned the principle of safe operation. In their pursuit of efficiency, they neglect the effective control of the source of ignition. Poor working habits became the trigger for this tragedy.
2.Poor supervision: The relevant regulatory authorities did not fully inspect whether the construction of the cold storage met the specifications before the incident.
Expansion: The relevant regulatory authorities are responsible for supervision and supervision, but there are omissions in the construction process of the cold storage. This also allows for the risk of fire, which ultimately leads to such a huge number of people**.
This life-related disaster is yet another reminder not to take fire safety lightly. The annual monthly fire drill is only a formal requirement and does not really play its due role. Relevant departments also need to strengthen the investigation and rectification of fire hazards to ensure the safety of every public place. Everyone should take this as a warning, do not regard life as child's play, and always be vigilant and pay attention to fire safety, so as to avoid similar tragedies from happening again. We must cherish life and pay attention to every safety detail to make our society safer, more stable and more harmonious.
