(Baonghean.vn) - Narrow spaces, lack of fire exits and fire fighting equipment... are the reality in mini apartments and high-rise boarding houses in Vinh city today.

The fire in a mini apartment building (9 floors, 1 attic) was extremely heartbreaking on the night of September 12, on Khuong Ha Street, Khuong Dinh Ward, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi. Up to now, the authorities have determined 56 deaths and 37 injuries. The fire has really sounded the alarm about the current state of fire prevention and fighting in mini apartments and high-rise boarding houses nationwide. Particularly in Vinh City, Nghe An Province, although there are no specific statistics, however, through actual surveys, mini apartments and high-rise boarding houses are mostly concentrated in areas around universities, where there are a large number of students renting rooms. These houses are built on small areas, interspersed in residential areas. (In the photo: The area with many mini apartments and high-rise boarding houses is in Truong Thi Ward). Photo: D.C

The characteristics of mini apartments and high-rise boarding houses are mostly from 5 to 10 floors. Regarding fire prevention and fighting equipment, they are mainly equipped with fire extinguishers, command boards,... Photo: T.D

On the floors of mini apartments and high-rise boarding houses, all rooms have balconies, but they are tightly welded with iron, also known as the "tiger cage" system to prevent theft. Photo: T.D

Most of the mini apartments and high-rise boarding houses are located deep in small alleys and lanes, not to mention that in many locations on the road, there are also places where materials are left to obstruct traffic, because they are considered not to be main roads. Photo: D.C.

There are alleys where even motorbikes have difficulty passing each other. (In the photo: A small alley in an area with rental houses in Truong Thi ward). Photo: D.C.

With a tube-shaped structure, in which the living room area occupies most of the floor space, many mini apartments and high-rise boarding houses do not even have balconies. In these houses, most of the escape routes are stairs. Photo: C.D

Also in Vinh city, there are high-rise boarding houses that also rent out the first floor for business purposes, posing many potential risks of fire and explosion. (In the photo: A high-rise boarding house for rent on Nguyen Trai street, near Quan Banh market). Photo: T.D

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the residential floors (from the 2nd floor and above), all mini apartments and high-rise rental houses use the 1st floor as a parking lot, which is also a place to charge motorbikes and electric bicycles, and a place to store many flammable items. (In the photo: A car is charging on the 1st floor of a mini apartment in Ben Thuy ward). Photo: T.D

Not to mention, many places that rent rooms, because the area used for living takes up all the space, are forced to leave vehicles along the corridors and walkways (which are also the only escape routes). It can be seen that, with the current situation that still has many potential risks of fire and explosion, on the basis of the Prime Minister's telegram, the Ministry of Public Security... the authorities need to promptly inspect apartment buildings in general, mini apartments, and high-rise boarding houses in particular to promptly detect violations, handle them promptly, and avoid unfortunate incidents that may occur.
