What should I do if the fire escape of the residential building is occupied?

When the fire exits of residential buildings are occupied, the first thing to do is to take timely measures to rectify and ensure the safety of residents. Because the fire escape is the only way for emergency evacuation and fire engines to pass, any obstacle may lead to failure to rescue in time, resulting in serious consequences.

First of all, residents or property management personnel should immediately issue a warning to units or individuals occupying fire exits, asking them to immediately stop occupying and clean up the exits. If the occupier does not cooperate, he can report to the local fire department or urban management department and ask him to deal with it according to law.

Secondly, the property management department should strengthen the daily inspection and management of fire exits to ensure the smooth exit. You can set up obvious warning signs to remind residents and outsiders not to occupy the fire escape. At the same time, strengthen publicity and education to improve residents' awareness and attention to fire safety.

In addition, the relevant departments should punish the malicious occupation of fire exits in accordance with the law to play a warning role. According to the relevant provisions of the Fire Protection Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the acts of occupying, blocking and sealing fire exits will be subject to administrative penalties such as fines.

To sum up, when the fire exits of residential buildings are occupied, measures should be taken immediately to rectify and report to the relevant departments. Property management departments should strengthen daily inspections and management to ensure smooth access. At the same time, the relevant departments should punish those who maliciously occupy the road according to law and safeguard public safety.
