Fire safety requirements of residential buildings

Legal analysis: When a residential building reaches 6 floors or above, it is necessary to install fire-fighting facilities in each corridor, which should include fire hydrants, water guns, hoses, fire alarms and so on. Fire hydrants for fire fighting and water intake should also be installed in residential quarters, and the fire exits should be kept clear. When a fire breaks out in a high-rise residential area, due to the height limitation of the fire escape, indoor fire hydrants will be chosen for rescue, which is very useful for extinguishing the initial fire. If the fire hydrant can't be used normally, it will increase the difficulty of extinguishing the fire.

Legal basis: Regulations on Fire Safety Management of High-rise Civil Buildings

Article 3 The fire safety management of high-rise civil buildings shall implement the policy of putting prevention first and combining prevention with elimination, and implement the responsibility system for fire safety. High-rise civil buildings with a building height exceeding 100 meters should be subject to stricter fire safety management.

Article 4 The owners and users of high-rise civil buildings are responsible for the fire safety of high-rise civil buildings. If the owner or user of a high-rise civil building is a unit, its legal representative or principal responsible person is the person in charge of fire safety of the unit. Owners and users of high-rise civil buildings may entrust professional service units (hereinafter referred to as fire service units) such as property service enterprises or fire technical service institutions to provide fire safety services, and stipulate the specific contents of fire safety services in the service contract.
