Fire in Kemerovo - is it worth taking lessons in Azerbaijan?

Baku/28.03.18/Turan: A fire in the "Winter Cherry" shopping center in Kemerovo, which resulted in numerous victims, is widely discussed in social networks of Azerbaijan, as similar incidents have happened here. In Azerbaijan, fires have also occurred in recent years, as a result of which dozens of people died. So, as a result of a fire in a multi-storey building on Azadlig Avenue on May 19, 2015, 15 people were killed. The accident and fire on the platform at the Gunashli field on December 4, 2016 resulted in the death of 31 people out of 63 on the platform.

As a result of the fire in the Narcological Dispensary on March 2, 2018, 25 people burned alive.

Every time, both in Azerbaijan and Russia, the country's leaders declared that the guilty will be severely punished and serious fire safety measures taken. However, similar tragedies are repeated again.

Experts draw attention to the fact that the majority of high-rise buildings being erected in Baku do not provide for a centralized heating system, which is necessary from the point of view of gas security.

Evacuation exits, sealed partitions are not provided to prevent people from breathing carbon monoxide.

People live in hundreds of buildings that have not received safety certificates from the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Regular security inspections of buildings are not carried out.

As the leader of the Movement for Democracy and Prosperity Gubad Ibadoglu, the consequences of the fire in Kemerovo should also concern the citizens of Azerbaijan. The reason for the large number of victims in Kemerovo observers see that the cinema was on the top floor, and emergency exits were blocked. In Baku, owners of shopping centers on the lower floor also lease to merchants, cinemas and playgrounds are located on the upper floors.

From fire no objects are insured, because fire safety rules are not observed and bribery exists.

It is necessary to conduct an inventory to verify compliance with fire safety rules at all catering and entertainment facilities, he said. In addition, instructions for fire behavior should be established at facilities, regular exercises for personnel should be conducted. Requirements for new construction projects must be toughened, and halls of mass congestion should be located only on the lower floors.

In turn, a facebook user Acoola Kids Azerbaijan, who names himself marketing director, Elkhan Mardanly, believes that the security issues in the malls of Park Bulvar, Genclik Mall and Port Baku.

"They are equipped with fire exits, fire protection systems in shops, fire extinguishers, regular trainings for personnel," he notes. At the same time, experts state a low level of education of the population in the field of fire safety. Few social advertising in this area. It was not possible to receive comments on the issues of providing fire safety in the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Azerbaijan. -03B06-
