(MENAFN- AzerNews) The State Fire Protection and Fire Supervision Services of the
Ministry of Emergency Situations conducted training in a
multi-story residential complex owned by MTK "Əlibəy" located at 45
Muhammad Khadi Street, Khatai district, Baku City, Azernews reports, citing the Ministry of Emergency
Situations.
The drills were conducted to ensure the ability of firefighting
equipment to approach the apartment building, as well as the water
pool, and generally assess the fire conditions in the area.
During the exercise, it was determined that due to improper
parking of personal vehicles and artificial barriers, fire engines
were unable to access the apartment building and water pool without
obstruction. In addition, it was found that the building was not
fully equipped with primary fire extinguishing equipment, internal
fire-fighting water taps were not fully equipped, there was no
emergency lighting system, the electricity supply did not comply
with the requirements of the "Rules for Electrical Equipment", and
the fire alarm system was inoperable.
Oral and written "instructions" were given to those responsible
for the fire safety of the apartment complex, and educational
discussions were held with the residents of the apartment complex
on fire safety.
It was brought to the attention of the residents that in order
to ensure unobstructed access to the courtyard of the buildings in
case of fire and other emergency situations for rescue,
fire-fighting vehicles, and other large special-purpose vehicles
with the ability to carry out relevant operations promptly and
efficiently, as well as for convenient use of swimming pools and
hydrants, vehicles should be parked only in designated areas,
keeping a distance from each other and ensuring the free passage of
other vehicles.
In the first half of 2023, 7,024 incidents of natural and
man-made nature occurred on the territory of the republic. It is
reported that this is 747 cases, or 10 percent less than in the
first half of 2022.
As a result of events of natural and man-made origin, 33 people
died and 138 were injured.
The ministry's rescuers rescued 17 people and evacuated 2,203
people.
