  The fire department reminded that fully enclosed anti-theft nets are more common in daily life.

However, while the anti-theft network exerts its anti-theft function, it also "nets" the escape route in emergency situations.

Therefore, if a household does need to install an anti-theft net, remember to leave a small door on the anti-theft net, the size of which is generally not less than 1.0×0.8 meters.

  In addition, it is strictly forbidden to set up any obstacles in the passage of fire trucks, and it is strictly forbidden for social vehicles to occupy them at will, so as not to hinder the passage of fire trucks in emergency situations and delay fire fighting.
