time:2026-07-08

Since the beginning of this year, Huai'an has focused on key links such as fire safety, facility operation and maintenance, and hazard investigation, solidifying the safety defense lines for residential communities through a series of special actions.

First, the city has carried out tiered training across the board. It has established a city-county linkage training system and held 2 municipal demonstration training sessions and 10 county/district-level training sessions, covering 325 enterprises and over 3,200 participants. Through this initiative, it achieved full coverage in both training and theoretical assessments for property safety management personnel citywide, effectively consolidating the foundation of safety literacy.

Second, the city has carried out practical drills to enhance capabilities. The municipal housing and urban-rural development department, in collaboration with fire departments, sub-districts, communities, and property management companies, formed drill teams and established an emergency linkage model, where fire departments provide professional guidance, property management companies bear the main responsibility, and community grid workers provide assistance. The drills simulated three typical scenarios: high-rise debris fires, electric-bicycle spontaneous combustion, and fire lane obstruction. They reproduced the entire process from fire reporting to emergency response, initial firefighting, evacuation guidance, and vehicle removal, and clearly defined the rapid response standards: alarm reception within 1 minute, arrival at the scene within 3 minutes, and control the risks within 5 minutes.

Third, the city has carried out closed-loop investigations to eliminate hazards. A special plan was issued, defining six key investigation priorities and establishing a closed-loop mechanism of "investigation, registration, rectification, and case closure." During Work Safety Month, the city carried out inspections for over 4,000 buildings, over 1 million square meters of underground garages, 43,000 fire facilities, and 2,860 elevators. A total of 1,462 hazards were identified, with 1,316 rectified on the spot and 146 ordered to be rectified within a time limit. A review was conducted on the remediation of waterless fire systems in high-rise buildings. Eight enterprises with lagging rectification were interviewed, leading to the replacement of over 700 pieces of expired equipment, the repair of 20 water pumps, and the clearing of over 320 locations with obstructing debris.
