The city requires a general inspection of houses at risk of fire and explosion.

Senior Lieutenant General Tran Quang Phuong - Vice Chairman of the National Assembly informed delegates about the fire in Trung Kinh (Hanoi). Through grasping the situation from the scene, Mr. Phuong said that fire prevention and fighting was inadequate, land prices increased, people expanded old houses to rent, disrupting the entire old village planning.

For example, the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly, in deep alleys, the houses in them are expanding, going from the main road there are many bends, the deeper you go into the alley, the tighter it gets, motorbikes can go, but if there is one more person , cannot be avoided.

He also said that the staircase of the house where the fire occurred in Trung Kinh was designed outside. There are two houses there, one 5-story house owned by the homeowner and one 3-story house for rent.

The Vice Chairman of the National Assembly also mentioned the combination of housing and businesses in this fire. The house can be expanded for rent or even for business using the entire space of the driveway.

"Previously, there were mainly walkways and trees, but the homeowner used a corrugated iron roof to build a workshop to repair motorbikes, bicycles, and electric vehicles," Mr. Phuong informed, and said that according to initial reports, the fire started. The head may have been caused by an electrical short circuit or the gas tank or gas tank in the repair shop exploded. That area has both people's motorbikes and repair shop vehicles. Therefore, when it exploded, it created great pressure and blew away the entire temporary roof, pushing it all up to the 3-story house.

Meanwhile, the house was renovated by the landlord, each room for rent is only about 16 m2, the stairs are about 60cm... "The door is narrow, the entire door is made of wood with gaps, full of flammable materials. When it explodes, It opened up, all the pressure created a fire with very dense gas," Mr. Phuong said.

The Vice Chairman of the National Assembly also said that if in previous house fires, the rate of death from suffocation was higher than death from fire, but in this particular case, there were more deaths from fire than from suffocation, because the fire went straight into each room. Among them, one room has a relatively solid toilet. People who entered that room closed the door and were able to escape.
