Add fire protection safety from the fire hydrant in the alley
In order to ensure fire safety, Tay Ho district leaders have installed fire hydrants in alleys throughout the district, to handle quickly and promptly, reducing damage when a fire occurs. .
Ms. Tran Thi Ky (86 years old) living in alley 656 Lac Long Quan, Tay Ho, Hanoi said that recently there have been many fires in small alleys in Hanoi, making her feel worried about her children. Her alley is too small for the fire engine to get in.
According to Ms. Ky, when there is a fire, it is very difficult for the functional forces to fight the fire. Fire trucks cannot reach the fire, officials have to attach each fire hose very far away, then the fire gets bigger and causes a lot of damage. .
"But since additional fire hydrants have been installed, I feel more secure because if a fire breaks out, the rescue unit will promptly have water to extinguish the fire," Ms. Ky added.
Mr. Chu Huu Hong (Tay Ho, Hanoi) said that previously, Lane 656, which was more than 500m long, did not have a fire hydrant. The width of the alley is equal to 2 motorbikes. If there is a fire, the fire truck cannot go in and handle it directly.
"Now, the fire fighting system in the alley has been added to help people live peacefully, without worrying about the risk of fire and explosion, creating a safe living environment," Mr. Hong added.
135 fire protection hydrants and more than 400 large water pipes
Talking about Labor, Lieutenant Colonel Vu The Tu - Deputy Head of Tay Ho District Police, Hanoi, said that Tay Ho District Police has coordinated with units to conduct surveys and make detailed plans for each alley to install Suitable fire hydrants .
According to Mr. Tu, all alleys with a length of 150m or more in Tay Ho district will have fire fighting hydrants installed.
Currently, the district is installing in 3 wards and continuing to deploy in the remaining 5 wards. An additional 135 fire protection hydrants and more than 400 large and small water pipes will be installed in alleys and alleys.
