A fire broke out in a bathhouse in Licheng, Shanxi, killing 5 people and injuring 1 person. Why did it cause such a large number of casualties?

The cause of the accident is still under investigation. This incident was indeed quite a sensation. A fire in a bathhouse caused so many casualties. In fact, this kind of place is often overlooked. I thought there was water in the bathhouse, how could it catch fire? But this incident does make people reflect.

There are several reasons why the bathhouse caught fire and caused so many casualties. First, there are many hot water tools and high-temperature equipment in the bathhouse. Over time, the lines may be burned out, etc., but no one pays attention, which is very likely to cause a fire, and it will burn very quickly. Second, the building materials in the bathhouse are relatively complex and the air is not circulated. After a fire, many materials were quickly ignited, causing a large-scale fire. The most important reason is that after a fire breaks out in the bathhouse, everyone's first reaction is to get dressed, which wastes the best time to escape, which is why there are so many casualties. These reasons are serious, yet no one pays attention to them. These places are easily overlooked in daily life, and the more unlikely things seem, the easier it is for things to happen. The person in charge of the bathhouse should bear the main responsibility for this matter. He usually failed to inspect and repair the relevant equipment and failed to pay attention to safety issues. Life is precious, but because these small problems in life are not noticed by others, they eventually lead to catastrophe.

Also, we must conduct more escape education and even drills for dangerous situations. Many people are completely confused and confused when faced with such emergencies, and have no idea how to protect themselves. Therefore, it is very important to conduct safety drills, educate and spread knowledge, so that in dangerous moments, you can use your own strength to protect yourself and wait for rescue. The weather is getting hotter now, and this year is relatively dry, so there is no rain in many places. During the Chinese New Year, people gather together, so we must pay attention to safety issues. No matter what activities we carry out, ensuring safety is the first priority. The person in charge of each place must learn from this incident and pay more attention to it, and don’t sacrifice their lives.
