Housing combined with business will stop operating if there is no fire prevention solution

Residential areas in alleys in Hanoi need to have public firefighting points. In the long term, it is necessary to plan and expand the alley, according to urban planning experts.

Housing combined with business and rental properties is growing rapidly but there are still many shortcomings. According to Mr. Le Hoang Chau, management needs to be tightened and penalties imposed harshly.

Forced to renovate the stairs of a 5-story tube house into an emergency exit with a smoke-proof door, Phuong Thao decided to stop renting because she knew it would be difficult to improve the house structure to meet fire safety.

After the news that operations would be stopped if there were no fire prevention solutions, many landlords in Hanoi spent tens of millions of dong to install escape routes and fire prevention equipment.
