On the 21st, the staff of Beijing fire rescue, health care, emergency and other departments went to a private hospital in Haidian District, Beijing to conduct a special fire safety inspection. The reporter learned from the scene that the focus is on the inspection of fire management, facilities and equipment, evacuation passages, fire prevention patrols, emergency duty, training drills, self-defense and self-rescue force construction, etc., especially strict investigation of illegal construction, illegal use of fire and electricity, illegal use of flammable and combustible materials decoration and construction.

"The fire lane is a passage of life, and it must be guaranteed to be unblocked." Li Long, deputy chief of the second section of fire prevention supervision of the Beijing Haidian District Fire Rescue Detachment, first started the inspection from the fire lane on the side of the hospital gate. He said that the fire lane is used for fire trucks to pass smoothly in emergency rescue situations, and the standard requires that the net width and headroom height cannot be less than 4 meters, and the property service management personnel should patrol 24 hours a day to ensure that motor vehicles do not occupy the fire lane.

Walking into the hospital building, Li Long checked whether the evacuation road map was posted in a prominent position in the building, "to indicate the direction of safe evacuation, as well as the location of evacuation stairs, fire fighting equipment, and fire hydrants, these signs are to let patients grasp the location at the first time, and in the event of an emergency, they can choose the nearest evacuation passage to escape." ”

Follow the safety evacuation instruction signs to see a closed gate with "Safety Exit" directly above it. Li Long said that each floor must have normally closed fire doors. When a fire occurs in a closed stairwell and a smoke-proof stairwell, it can prevent heat and fireworks from entering the space and alleviate the speed of fire spread.

Hospitals are the focus of fire safety management. How to respond quickly in the event of an emergency? In the hospital's fire control room, Li Long introduced that the staff of the fire control room need to hold a certificate to work, so as to achieve "fast confirmation, fast mobilization, fast start, and fast evacuation". Once the fire alarm information is found, it is necessary to respond quickly, seize the "golden three minutes" in the early stage of fire extinguishing, quickly activate the fire extinguishing emergency rescue plan inside the hospital, guide the on-site personnel to evacuate and dial 119. A fire disposal simulation drill was carried out on site, and the hospital's miniature fire station was basically on site within 3 minutes.

Hospitals are places for treating patients and saving people, and most of them have oxygen rooms. Chen Gang, deputy captain of the comprehensive law enforcement brigade of the Beijing Haidian District Emergency Management Bureau, said at the scene that the oxygen room is an important part of the safe production of the hospital, and the storage location is strictly prohibited from dangerous goods such as fire, oil and other dangerous goods entering or mixing, and a special person must be responsible for management.

"There is a QR code on each tank gas cylinder, and after scanning the code, it can be traced, which can display the manufacturer's information, circulation process, inspection frequency, etc." Chen Gang pointed out that in daily supervision, enterprises are often reminded to implement the main responsibility, put the investment of rules and regulations, rectification and reform of potential safety hazards in the first place, increase risk investigation and control at ordinary times, and increase emergency equipment and material preparation to achieve "something can be handled".

Beijing requires all medical institutions to comprehensively improve their emergency response capabilities, strengthen emergency duty, and improve the timeliness and accuracy of information reporting. Mao Guangju, head of the safety management department of the Haidian District Health Commission of Beijing, focused on inspecting the hospital's emergency duty capacity that day, "to see whether it can be manned 24 hours a day, whether it is familiar with firefighting facilities and equipment, and whether it can achieve emergency response in place." ”

The reporter learned that during the special operation of large-scale investigation and rectification of fire safety hidden dangers in Beijing medical institutions, hospitals and community (village) health service centers (stations), clinics, maternal and child health care hospitals, emergency centers and other medical institutions were required to "conduct inspections, conduct inspections, and rectify at the same time". For the fire hazards and illegal acts found in the inspection, rectification will be urged and responsibility will be seriously pursued in accordance with the law.

The Beijing fire rescue department pointed out that the hospital needs to establish a sound fire safety system and emergency evacuation plan, conduct fire training drills at least once a year, and set up a fire safety person in charge for each department and floor to strengthen daily fire prevention patrols. In addition, attention should be paid to publicizing fire safety knowledge, mobilizing the whole people, and everyone participating to create a good fire safety atmosphere. (End)
