Small restaurants should be equipped with fire-fighting equipment.

It is reported that a fire broke out in a restaurant in Anda Town, Jiutai District, Changchun City, Jilin Province, killing 17 people. It is understood that the fire was caused by an oven in a Sichuan restaurant, and the specific cause of the fire is currently under investigation. Some insiders believe that the accident may be mainly related to the illegal use of open flames in restaurants. In recent years, China's catering industry has been developing rapidly. However, because the catering industry generally does not have its own special place, once a fire breaks out in the course of operation, it will cause great casualties.

Specific considerations for setting fire-fighting equipment

Although Chinese laws stipulate that small restaurants should be equipped with necessary fire-fighting equipment, there is no specific provision on how to set fire-fighting equipment. Most small restaurants are equipped with fire-fighting equipment? Fire extinguisher? 、? Fire hose? Simple fire hydrants, sprinkler systems and the like. At the same time, many restaurants use old-fashioned fire-fighting equipment, which tends to reduce the fire-fighting performance. Although national laws and regulations have set requirements for fire-fighting equipment in catering establishments, there is no clear standard requirement, so many operators are often reluctant to configure fire-fighting equipment because of their fear of fire prevention and treatment, which also makes most catering units exist? Build instead of use? 、? Use it without preparation? The phenomenon.

How to avoid unexpected accidents in the catering industry

In unexpected accidents, in addition to the weak awareness of fire safety, some catering operators use open flames illegally in order to save costs or covet small profits, which sometimes leads to fires. For example, some hotel owners set up kitchens for employees to barbecue. It is not uncommon for some restaurants to collapse seriously due to poor management. Once a fire breaks out in such places, it will cause great losses to customers. Therefore, catering enterprises should take effective measures to improve their awareness and ability of fire safety and effectively prevent fire accidents. In addition, we must pay attention to the implementation of fire safety measures in the catering industry, and once problems are found, we should take corresponding solutions and eliminate hidden dangers in time. I hope that the above contents can sound the alarm and take a warning to the catering operators.
