Property liability in arson

Legal analysis: the property company confirmed that a security guard had altered the fire equipment inspection record card, but the fire hydrant could normally supply water to extinguish the fire, and it also fulfilled its obligation to cooperate with the fire department. Owners or arsonists are usually the main responsible subjects of fire accidents. Property companies do not actively fulfill their fire control obligations and become the secondary responsibility subject of fire accident responsibility. What is the real situation? We need to wait for the public security department to complete the investigation of the fire accident and issue a fire accident confirmation. This confirmation will be an important reference for the court to finally decide the distribution of fire responsibility. According to the second paragraph of article 18 of the new fire protection law, "residential property service enterprises shall maintain fire protection facilities in the management area and provide fire safety prevention services."
