Follow me and I will share some interesting stories and experiences on a regular basis to exchange educational experiences together.
A recent horrific fire accident occurred in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, which killed 39 people and injured 9 others. The fire broke out on the negative floor of a cold storage renovation shop, but why was it so serious in the training facility on the second floor? This tragedy has exposed the safety problems of training institutions and the inadequate investigation of fire hazards by relevant departments, which has sounded the alarm bell for people.
1.The fire broke out on the afternoon of January 24 and was fierce with thick smoke. Witnesses said they could only see smoke and not open flames. At the time of the fire, there were some people trapped on the second floor of the training facility, and they had to jump from the window to escape.
2.The cold storage decoration shop is located on the basement floor, upstairs is a training institution for college students to upgrade to a bachelor's degree, and there are Internet cafes and hotels around. As the fire quickly spread to the training facility on the second floor, more than 40 university students were trapped in a large classroom where they were taking English classes. In the end, only a few lucky students managed to escape. The two escaped girls showed their frightened expressions, and we can't imagine the horror they experienced.
3.The rescue lasted nearly three hours before the fire was finally brought under control. However, the fire killed 39 university students, many of them at school. At present, ** has controlled 12 relevant responsible persons.
1.Crowded space: This large classroom has 60 square meters and accommodates more than 40 students. The space is very cramped, and the wooden tables, chairs and benches that the students sit on are also flammable. As the fire spread violently, there was little room for the students to escape.
In this large classroom, the desks, chairs and benches are so tightly packed that the students can barely move. When a fire breaks out, the flames spread quickly and smoke fills the classroom. The students panicked and struggled to find an escape in the smoke. They huddled together, scrambling to find an escape opportunity.
2.Lack of safe access: The training facility does not have a safe passage, only a small door that can only accommodate one person and a small window that cannot be opened can be used as an escape exit. In smoke-filled situations, if the escape exits are not right next to them, the chances of students having to escape through a safe passage become very small.
According to eyewitnesses at the scene, when the fire broke out, the entire classroom was filled with thick smoke and students could barely see their surroundings. With no obvious signs to guide them, many students are confused and panicked, not knowing how to escape. The small door that could only accommodate one person was squeezed to the brim, and the small window that could not be opened did not provide an escape opportunity.
3.Carbon monoxide poisoning: When there is a stove for heating in a cold storage outside the classroom, large amounts of carbon monoxide are produced. Students trapped in classrooms are at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is extremely harmful to the human body. In the event of a fire, the stove in the cold storage produces a large amount of carbon monoxide, a gas that quickly disperses into the classroom. Students are unable to escape in time and can easily inhale large amounts of carbon monoxide, causing poisoning and even life-threatening.
4.Toxic fumes: Insulation materials in cold storage** produce a lot of smoke and toxic chemicals. This explains why the students breathe in toxic smoke while not seeing the open flame.
Supplementary description) The insulation materials in the cold storage usually contain many chemicals, such as formaldehyde, etc. In the aftermath of a fire, the burning of these materials produces large amounts of smoke and toxic chemicals. Thick smoke quickly spread into the classroom, severely obstructing the students' vision and making it difficult to breathe.
1.Illegal operation: It is understood that the cold storage decoration workers have illegal operations during the construction process, which may ignite the insulation material and lead to the occurrence of fire.
2.Supervision and inspection are not in place: it is not known whether the formal construction of cold storage is supervised. This fire incident exposed the problem of inadequate supervision and inspection work.
In recent years, fire accidents have occurred frequently, which has taught us a vivid lesson in fire safety. We need to recognize the importance of fire safety and take preventive measures accordingly.
The annual monthly fire drills are only formalistic and not in-depth and effective. Relevant departments should strengthen the investigation of fire hazards and take timely measures to eliminate potential safety hazards.
At the same time, we should also take caution and not take the safety of our lives lightly. Strengthen fire safety education, popularize fire self-rescue knowledge, and improve people's awareness of fire safety.
Fire safety is not just a case, it's about everyone's safety. Let's work together to contribute to the elimination of fire hazards and the maintenance of social safety. Let the tragedy be reduced and life be better.
