Signs, tiger cages surrounded, many houses became "traps" when there was a fire

Many houses in Hanoi have their entire facades covered by billboards, making them "dead-end" homes in case of a fire or explosion.

The fire at a cafe on Pham Van Dong Street, Bac Tu Liem District, Hanoi City on the night of December 18th killed 11 people. Notably, this cafe is located right on a major road, but because of the large fire, the fire still caused serious consequences in terms of both people and property.

Currently, Hanoi has many tube-shaped houses without fire exits. Although they are located right next to the main road, these houses still cause inconvenience to the rescue of the fire department because they are surrounded by signs.
Khong nhung khong co loi thoat hiem, nhung ngoi nha ong mat pho nay con phu kin cac bien hieu quang cao.
Advertising signs and iron bars cover the facades of business stores.

Tham chi, ben tren toa nha, du khong bi che boi cac bien quang cao nhung nguoi dan cung thiet ke chuong cop quay kin.
Recorded at Xa Dan intersection (Dong Da, Hanoi), a prime street for business and trading, most of the houses with frontage are for rent, with advertising signs covering the entire first and second floors of the building. Even above the building, although not covered by advertising signs, people have designed a tiger cage to surround it.
2 ben canh cung bi rao kin boi chuong cop.
The two sides are also fenced off by tiger cages.
Pho Tay Son (Dong Da, Ha Noi) cung co nhieu cua hang dung bien quang cao co lon che kin loi tiep can duy nhat vao toa nha.
Large billboards and iron tiger cage frames are a danger in case of fire or explosion. Tube houses have only one entrance at the front facade, however, this is the location where many businesses hang their billboards, causing many residents to worry. Especially for glass houses without windows, it is difficult to spray water inside if a fire occurs.
Tren Pho Chua Boc (Dong Da, Ha Noi), du ben duoi tang 1 kinh doanh nhieu mat hang thoi trang, nhung phia tren toa nha khong co loi thoat hiem, cau truc duoc xay dung kien co.
On Chua Boc Street (Dong Da, Hanoi), although the first floor sells many fashion items, the building above has no emergency exit and the structure is solidly built.
Ban Nguyen Van Anh (Thanh Xuan, Ha Noi) cho biet: “Sau khi chung kien nhieu vu chay o Ha Noi, minh rat quan ngai ve y thuc phong chay chua chay cua nguoi dan. Du nha mat pho hay trong ngo cung can xay dung, lap dat cac thiet bi dam bao an toan phong chay chua chay“.
Nguyen Van Anh (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) said: “After witnessing many fires in Hanoi, I am very concerned about people's awareness of fire prevention and fighting. Whether the house is on the street or in the alley, it is necessary to build and install equipment to ensure fire prevention and fighting safety.”
Khong chi cac can nha ong, hien tai, nhieu chung cu cu o Ha Noi cung duoc nguoi dan coi noi them chuong cop de mo rong dien tich sinh hoat.
Not only tube houses, currently, the facades of many old apartment buildings in Hanoi are also used by people to place advertising signs and add tiger cages to expand living space.

Hien tai, chi mot so it nha dan vua lap bien quang cao, vua thiet ke them loi de thoat hiem.
Currently, only a few businesses install advertising signs and design additional escape routes.
