Into April, Lijiang on the 6th, 10th, 14th successive fire occurred. From 2009 to 2013, an average of Lijiang each year about a fire. Two days ago, the National Heritage Board, responsible person on the 18th when introducing artifacts safe working conditions, said the fire hazard is a major factor in cultural security. This year, the Shangri-La in Yunnan Dukezong city, Lijiang, Beijing Dong village in Guizhou reported spate of fires and other accidents.
Lijiang Old Town Fire Brigade hairy wave Beijing News reporter said that the ancient city without fire spacing, inadequate fire exits, "Our ancient fire management on the basis of the law." In addition, he said, about how to ancient buildings are qualified standard fire is unclear, according to current law, these ancient buildings themselves can not be used operations.
Currently, the largest since the reform and opening up has entered Heritage Act to amend the research stage, the draft amendments will be introduced this year. Experts called on relevant departments to improve fire management regulations ancient buildings as soon as possible, and promote legal management processes.
Fire management on the basis of the ancient city of irregularities
In 2010, Schell came to Lijiang, Shuhe has opened at a bar and restaurant. April 6 this year, the Beam River fire, fire point from his restaurant is only 200 meters.
Fire occurred at 4:00 and more, Schell carrying a fire extinguisher and ran directly to the point. He recalls, about an hour later, firefighters arrived before. In the accident, one of his friends opened the inn burned to ashes.
Schell said repeatedly fire Lijiang let him fear. After the fire last March, for his own shop to buy insurance, but also their own store with a fire extinguisher.
In his opinion, Lijiang fire repeatedly occurs because the wooden structure housing a compact layout, the inherent security risks. The dry weather in the plateau region, often windy. Fire even more difficult by the narrow road, the first time to reach the fire point.
"No fire spacing, inadequate fire exits," this argument has been corroborated Lijiang District Fire Brigade hairy waves. In addition, gross Potain words, the ancient city's fire protection infrastructure is very weak. He cites, fire water and domestic water in a pipe-line, and a small diameter.
"From the existing laws and regulations, the Fire are violations of the entire city." Mao Bo said.
Mao waves that the current bear the brunt of the enforcement difficulties, according to the provisions of the Fire Services Act, the city where some of the buildings should not be used as entertainment.
"Currently, we are in the fire on the basis of the law on the management of the ancient city, which is the top-level design issues."
He explained that under the provisions of the Fire Services Act, the ancient city where three, four fire resistance rating of houses and ancient buildings, definitely not as a public poly entertainment and crowded places to use. "But Lijiang economic development, and so many years of development, Lijiang tourism has become the country's hot spots."
Standard vague, weak Fire and Law Enforcement
According to Lijiang Tourism Bureau data, in 2013, Lijiang receive guests over 2000 million, an increase of 30%. The city's tourism revenue of about 28 billion, an increase of 32%. According to the Old Town Fire Brigade hair captain introduced Lijiang area gathered about 100,000 owners.
Last year in March, a local innkeeper media interview said that as time consuming firefighting procedures, according to the majority of the inn are not required to install fire board and sprayed fire retardant paint.
The owner said the annual fire inspection, fire protection certificates for missing stores, generally a fine of 200 yuan. However, after a fine inn The fire can still missing license sales.
For a fine argument, hair wave be denied. "It is impossible. Whether it is" Yunnan Fire Services Ordinance "or" Fire Act ", there would be no penalties of $ 200. Opened elsewhere if there is no fire fighting procedures, then punishment is 30000-300000. Impossible to have 200 dollars to say. "
Encountered no firefighting procedures inn, hair wave, said he went to Lijiang in six months, the owners had no penalty. He believes that now some owners do not apply for firefighting procedures cause "not that they do not want to do, nor is it they do not want to do", but about how to ancient buildings are qualified standard fire unclear if the provisions in accordance with current law, these ancient buildings itself can not be used for operations.
In March last year after the fire, Lijiang has introduced the "Old Town of Lijiang fire safety management approach." "Measures" Article 18 rooms over twenty inn, the hotel must install an automatic sprinkler system, automatic fire alarm system (with a simple device). So in Lijiang, how many businesses to install fire-fighting equipment?
He said that no statistics on the number of businesses. However, if entirely consciously, it should not be much. He said, "There is no mandatory measures, who will spend money?"
Mao Bo said that the current government he had submitted the relevant material, to clarify under what circumstances need to install an alarm system, install additional fire facilities and other issues under what circumstances. "So that we make arrangements for the process in order to have a basis."
Fire calls for legalization of the ancient city management
Yunnan Lijiang ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, the ancient County of Anhui and Sichuan Langzhong city is known as China's four ancient city. Up to now, the introduction of Pingyao County in August 2012, "the ancient city of Pingyao County Fire Safety Management Measures"; LangZhongShi recent position, is preparing for the introduction of "Langzhong Fire Safety Management Measures"; But no movement SHEXIAN.
Heritage law expert Liu Yang believes Nationwide, many local regulations regarding fire protection of ancient buildings and concrete is not stringent enough. "For example, pay attention to check the problem, to pre-empt problems afterwards Responsibility for example, for the specific use of fire, and afterwards the punishment itself and fire protection requirements. Well, fire building materials, such as wire configuration should be done rigid requirements."
2006 "Yunnan Lijiang Protection Regulations" introduced in only one make provisions for fire protection. Article XVI which is "all units, residents and commercial shops Lijiang should do fire prevention and fire safety requirements in accordance with the appropriate fire-fighting equipment, identify problems and timely rectification. Prohibited Dayan sales and fireworks."
September 2011, the ancient city of Lijiang City Fire Brigade squadron commander Yang Chunyong in "On Lijiang fire safety Situation and Countermeasures," the article said, the current Fire Services Act and the laws, regulations did not complete ancient building fire protection standards. "Fire and Law Enforcement no standard reference, only empirically coordination process more difficult to bring enforcement actions."
After 杨春勇 article for publication, Lijiang Old Town district and the repeated fires occur. The fire in March last year is attracting national attention. In April, the city's first introduction for ancient buildings "Lijiang fire safety management approach."
Mao Bo believes that the effectiveness of the "measures" how needed test of time. "Can play a role in how much, to be assessed."
This year, the implementation of more than 32 years of "Heritage Act" solicit opinions from all sides, the completion of the proposed amendments to the draft Cultural Relics Protection Law during the year.
Liu Yang heritage law expert analysis, "Recently there have been several ancient building fire accident, which may have entered the legislator's attention, so this issue may have some modifications heritage is reflected in the law." He therefore appealed to the relevant national departments to improve fire management regulations ancient buildings as soon as possible, and promote legal management processes.
All of the ancient city are faced with the problem of narrow fire road. Coupled with some owners secretly parked in the ancient city, fire engines could not get. How to solve this problem? Limited number of fire officers, not by way of social participation, there is no solution. - Lijiang Old Town Fire Brigade hairy wave
