Hanoi Enforces Fire Prevention Measures
The Hanoi People's Committee has issued Dispatch No.3544/UBND to strengthen fire prevention and firefighting efforts and to inspect facilities at high risk of fire and explosion. This comes after a tragic fire in a tenement building in September left 56 dead and 37 injured. The city government has since inspected nearly 23,400 establishments and handled nearly 630 administrative violations with fines of over $142,200. The PM has also urged stricter fire prevention and management in multi-story residential buildings.
