The fire is merciless, and the alarm bell rings for a long time".
It can be said that we have heard this slogan since childhood, and the reason why it is so popular is that the harm caused by fire is far beyond our imagination.
But even if the warning slogans are shouted again and again, and the fire protection knowledge is talked about again and again, there are always individual units or individuals who do not care.
I always think that a small negligence will not cause a big disaster, and I always think that it will not cause trouble if it is convenient for a while.
So, in such a fluke, one tragedy after another began.

On January 19th, the weather was very cold, and the children of Yanshanpu Village Yingcai School in Nanyang City, Henan Province, returned to their dormitories to rest after a day's work.
thought that they could sleep in the warm quilt until dawn, but who knew that this night would usher in the most extreme cold of their lives.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, a fire suddenly broke out in one of the dormitories in the dormitory, causing smoke to quickly spread to the other dormitories.
The local fire department acted quickly after receiving the alarm, and after fierce fighting, the fire was extinguished more than 30 minutes after the fire broke out.
But when the firefighters walked into the dormitory, they saw a heartbreaking scene:
The 13 children did not escape, they lay quietly in their beds.
When the fire broke out, no one noticed it immediately, and when the teachers found out, it was too late, so they hurriedly woke up the students, but because there were many students, they could not take care of everything.
By the time the students were organised, the smoke had spread across the dormitories, and the consequences would have been even worse if the teachers had not discovered and organized the evacuation.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the cause of the fire may be related to the aging of electrical wiring or the illegal use of electrical appliances.
Once these hazards cause a fire, when the open flame is raging, it will produce a large amount of toxic smoke, which can suffocate people and then put their lives in danger.
The 13 children who did not flee were forever stuck in their dreams under these smokes.
The raging fire took 13 lives, and their average age was only 9 years old.
Whatever the cause of the accident, it has caused irreparable damage to the victims and their families, and has also exposed huge loopholes in the school's safety management.
After this tragedy, the first response was strong, and the alarm bell of fire safety once again sounded in the ears of the public.
But I never expected that the "residual smoke" of this accident had not yet dissipated, and many fires were ignited again.

At about 15 o'clock on January 24, a fire broke out in a street shop in Yushui District, Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province.
As of press time, 39 people had been killed and nine injured.
The stranded people are mainly students and accommodation tourists who have participated in the post-secondary training.
According to the official press conference, it was initially determined that the cause of the fire was caused by the illegal fire construction of the construction personnel during the renovation of the cold storage on the basement floor of the building.
Thick smoke poured into the second floor through the corridor, besieging students and residents who were attending classes on the second floor.
At present, 12 relevant responsible persons have been investigated by the public security organs.
The National Health Commission sent medical experts to Jiangxi to give full guidance and support to the medical treatment of the wounded.

At 1:50 on January 23, a fire broke out in Jinan Ginza Jiayi Changqing Garden Boyuan store.
The Changqing District Fire and Rescue Brigade immediately rushed to the scene after receiving the alarm, and the accident caused 4 deaths.
According to the mother of one of the witnesses of the fire, her son, who was participating in the sports examination camp, had been staying at the hotel for more than 10 days, and in addition to her son, more than 70 other candidates were also staying at the hotel.
Some family members of suspected fire victims posted on the Internet, pointing out that the hotel where the fire occurred, Ginza Jiayi, did not have an emergency evacuation channel and the fire protection was not up to standard, questioning why such a hotel could be opened.
On the afternoon of January 24, the Jinan Changqing District Fire and Rescue Brigade issued a notice saying that the cause of the fire was under investigation.
Shandong Heze fire

At about 19:48 on January 20, 2024, an explosion occurred in an abandoned factory outside Wang Caiyuan Village, Dacheng Town, Juancheng County, Heze, Shandong.
After receiving the report, the firefighters quickly gathered police forces and went to the abandoned factory to extinguish the fire, and the open fire was extinguished at around 20:30.
After search and rescue, two injured people were found at the scene, and one died after being sent to the hospital for treatment.
At present, the public security and fire departments are further cleaning up the scene and investigating the cause of the accident.
Whether it's a school institution or a community factory, every fire is inextricably linked to negligence.
Maybe it's the use of illegal electrical appliances, maybe it's the old and missing fire-fighting equipment, or maybe the "life" passage is blocked. The paralysis of the mind gave birth to these "maybes", and these "maybes" ignited the tragedy of the raging fire.
