(Baonghean.vn) - Fire prevention and fighting at markets in Nghe An have recently encountered many difficulties. In addition to the fact that the markets were planned, designed, and built many years ago, the architecture and scale do not meet the development of the market, leading to overload; there is also the reason that people are negligent in fire prevention and fighting work.
Some images captured by Nghe An Newspaper reporters on October 3 - National Fire Prevention and Fighting Day, at markets and supermarkets in Vinh City:
 |
At Quang Trung market, a man is using an iron cutter right in the market. |
 |
There were many tangled wires lying on the shabby kiosks. If there was an electrical short circuit or sparks from the iron cutters started a fire, it would certainly cause immeasurable damage. |
 |
Quang Trung market is already narrow, the aisles are used by traders to sell goods, so if a fire breaks out, it will be very difficult to put out. |
 |
Not only Quang Trung market but Vinh market also has a similar situation. The walkways that were designed to be spacious are now less than 1 meter wide. In the photo is the walkway on the first floor. |
 |
The second floor is in the same condition. |
 |
Every day, thousands of people visit and shop at supermarkets, so if a fire breaks out, the corridor being encroached upon for displaying goods will cause many difficulties for fire fighting as well as rescue work. |
 |
The fire extinguisher area at Vinh Railway Station market was also surrounded by flammable goods, "suffocating" |
