Frequent fires in ancient cities to improve fire safety is the key

On the evening of April 14th, around 19 o'clock, a fire broke out near Chongren Lane in the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan, becoming the third fire in the ancient city of Lijiang this month. Since spring, the weather is dry and dry. It is the season of frequent fires. There are fires in the ancient city of Lijiang. Let us inevitably worry about the safety of the ancient city. The ancient city can withstand several such destructions. The fire safety of the ancient city needs to be improved urgently.

1. The ancient city has become a high-fire area

Since spring, most areas of Yunnan have entered the dry season, and fires are prone to occur. On the 6th of this month, a fire broke out in a shop in Longquan Community, Shuhe Street, Lijiang Old Town, which damaged 10 shops. On the evening of the 10th, the old site of the Old Worker Cultural Palace in Xincheng Minzhu Road in the ancient city caught fire, and the fire area was 64.8 square meters, causing direct property loss of about 7,000 yuan. Yesterday, on the evening of April 14, another fire broke out in Qiyi Road, Gucheng District. The fire scene was very smokey. The fire has been extinguished without causing casualties. The trend is still being counted.

In fact, not only the ancient city of Lijiang, in recent years, many tourist resorts like the ancient city of Lijiang have experienced major fire incidents.On January 11 this year, a fire broke out in the ancient city of Dukezong, Shangri-La; Guizhou Zhenyuan County newspaper Jingxiang newspaper Beijing Dongzhai this year A fire broke out on the evening of January 25, one of the "three male towns in the north", and a fire broke out on the evening of February 18, 2010 in the ancient millennium city; a fire broke out in the ancient city of Phoenix on the early morning of April 19, 2013 ...

2. Frequent fires in the ancient city are worthy of reflection

These cities with ancient buildings are not only tourist attractions, but also a treasure trove of China's historical and cultural heritage. We should not understand how to cherish after we lose. We should reflect deeply, raise vigilance, and do precautions in advance. The main reason is that the Greater Shangri-La (Lijiang, Shangri-La and surrounding areas) area belongs to the seismic zone, and the local traditional buildings have seismic requirements. Therefore, the building structure is dominated by wooden frames. In fact, the ancient city of Lijiang, including other ancient cities in China, has hidden fire safety hazards. The main phenomena are:

(1) In the original plan in the ancient city, the roads were very narrow, and almost no fire pipe network. Fire trucks are not accessible in most parts of the ancient city.

(2) The weather in the plateau is generally dry, especially in winter, where there is often no precipitation for three to four months, and there are often strong winds. In addition, everyone has the habit of burning firewood and charcoal for heating in winter, and there is a great risk of fire.

(3) Circuit aging is common in ancient cities, and some main lines have even weathered the outer insulation. Due to the high building density, most of the wires are directly hung on the wall. Coupled with the excessive development of ancient cities in recent years, there is basically a phenomenon of power overload in each ancient city.

(4) The management level of the fire management department needs to be improved. In the actual situation of insufficient fire-fighting hardware facilities in the ancient city, the software (such as fire-fighting inspection, training, emergency measures, etc.) is not enough.

(5) Insufficient fire-fighting awareness of residents and merchants in the ancient city, lack of fire-fighting knowledge, and lack of emergency response capabilities for emergency fires.

(6) The flow of people in the ancient city is complex, and the fire safety awareness of tourists is weak. Tourists go to the ancient city to play, do not understand the local fire situation, and are not familiar with the fire escape plan. Usually, the awareness of fire prevention is relatively weak.

3. Main points of fire safety construction in ancient city

Based on the above points, from the government and fire management departments, first of all, the construction of ancient city fire protection facilities should be improved as soon as possible. Strengthen the training of fire awareness and knowledge of ancient city residents and merchants. Strengthen the management of fire protection details and formulate more detailed and scientific fire management regulations.

Residents and merchants in the ancient city should strictly follow the fire protection regulations when repairing and renovating the building at the beginning, to eliminate as far as possible the fire hazards of the building itself. The most important thing is to increase vigilance in daily life and management, and change bad habits that easily cause fire. When the fire-fighting hardware facilities are not in place, a strict fire alarm system is set up so that the fire can be detected in time to control the fire.

Because of its special historical reasons, the ancient city is destined not to be as scientific as planning in modern cities. There are too many birth defects in fire protection. Therefore, the protection of the ancient city requires that the residents and merchants of the ancient city bear more responsibility. If every resident and every merchant in the ancient city has a strong fire awareness, enough fire fighting knowledge can maximize the suppression of fire hazards.

4. Fire-fighting measures in the ancient city of Phoenix: Take the lead in adding "fireproof artifacts"

After a fire broke out in Phoenix Ancient Town, Hunan Province on April 19, 2013, the Phoenix Ancient Town comprehensively improved fire prevention measures, taking the lead in adding a "fireproof artifact", broadcasting the city when the fire occurred, and evacuating residents and tourists in a timely manner.

This "fireproof artifact" is a fire emergency broadcast system. Phoenix Ancient City is the first ancient city scenic spot to introduce this system in the country. It is a multi-functional, comprehensive outdoor stereo broadcasting system integrating radio frequency modulation broadcasting and fire emergency broadcasting functions. At present, there are 110 FM audio distribution points installed in the main roads of the ancient city's core scenic spots and merchants' business locations. Outdoor FM active speakers are installed as the broadcast terminal of the system.

Wandering in the ancient city, you can not only listen to the live transmission platform ?? FM94.4 radio programs and safety knowledge, but also listen to government emergency documents and related policies and regulations. Once a fire accident occurs in the ancient city scenic area, the radio station It can be transformed into a fire emergency broadcast system, providing communication guarantee for the evacuation of personnel at the fire site, fire rescue, fire fighting, and fire power dispatch. While effectively conducting fire safety propaganda, it can also guide the evacuation route and channel during the fire rescue The role.

At the same time, the system integrates the “96119” complaint reporting hotline for fire hazards with the live broadcast hotline of the radio to provide convenience for citizens to supervise and report fire safety violations and timely reports through fire emergency broadcasts in the event of a fire.
