Through inspection, fire prevention work at Tan Thinh apartment building still has many shortcomings. The system of incident warning lights and emergency exit lights are not working.

Along the corridors of the 13-storey apartment building, residents have arbitrarily hooked up electrical wires and decorated with flashing lights that violate regulations, posing a fire safety risk. Most of the fire extinguishers are damaged or expired. The doors to the emergency exits do not meet requirements and are even locked. Some objects are even blocking the exits.

In addition, the fire pump system could not pump water to the fire pipe system of the floors. The fire police force has drawn up a record to request the investor and the apartment building management board to fix the problem to ensure fire safety and the lives of the residents.
