What responsibility should the property company bear for the fire in the commercial building?

What responsibility should the property company bear when the commercial building catches fire depends on the cause of the fire. If the fire is caused by the owner himself, then the property does not need to bear legal responsibility. If the fire is caused by the negligence of the property, then the property needs to bear civil liability.

Legal analysis

As long as the property is found in time, the alarm is timely, and there are no casualties, the owners or users are basically not responsible for the fire. If it is a fire of public electrical equipment, it depends on whether the equipment is properly maintained and in good working condition. If the maintenance is normal, the operation is good, and a fire occurs for unknown reasons, the property company needs to bear the economic losses caused by the fire. If there is no normal maintenance and the equipment is not working well, resulting in a fire, the property owner may be investigated for dereliction of duty, civil liability and economic compensation. Both arson and fire caused by human negligence belong to criminal cases and need to be identified by public security organs.
