"The fire was burned from the outside of the four or five floors, and the specifics were not very clear." Xiaoli told China News Weekly that they escaped for about ten minutes and burned to the high -rise of the building. "The burning was too fierce."

Mr. Guo, who was more than 30 meters away from the building, told China News Weekly. At more than 3 pm, he saw the video of the telecommunications building on the local group. Later, he saw from the window that the black smoke had floated into the air. "It seems that the air conditioner outside the building is on the fire, and then the fire rises up.

Large security risks. " The total amount is estimated to be RMB 4.409 million (including tax).

Fire problems of super high -rise buildings

The fire has always been a major threat to super high -rise buildings, and high -rise fire extinguishing is also a worldwide problem. The Lotus Garden Telecom Building is 218 meters high and is a typical ultra -high -rise building.

In April 2009, local media in Hunan reported the news that Changsha held high -rise building fire prevention drills. The background of the exercise is to set the "Changsha Lotus Garden Telecom Telecom Building 11 and 39 floors suddenly burst out of smoke." During the exercise, the Changsha Fire Detachment successively conducted self -rescue drills and fire -fighting rescue drills. One of the main contents of this exercise is to press the high -altitude, and the assuming fire point is located on the 39th layer. According to reports, the vertical height of Shuilong can reach 280 meters.

Some firefighters said in an interview with China News Weekly that the evacuation path and evacuation width of the skyscrapers were limited. Many times, they had to rely on the firefighting facilities inside the building to extinguish the fire, or concentrated on the refuge and wait for the rescue. Sometimes the helicopter was used to extinguish the fire.

A 100 -meter -high high -rise building, without blocking, the flue gas can spread to the top floor in only half a minute, and the speed is about 10 times the horizontal direction. Therefore, once a fire occurs in the skyscraper, it is easy to form a strong "chimney effect", and personnel evacuation, escape, and fire extinguishing work will be quite difficult.

Relevant experts from the Fire Rescue Bureau of the Emergency Management Department mentioned in an interview with the media that if a high -rise building occurs, the rescue will face the following difficulties: First, there are elevator wells, pipeline wells, etc. in super high -rise buildings, and some buildings are outside the outside of the building. In thermal insulation materials, the fire easily spreads rapidly from the internal and external parts to form a three -dimensional fire. The third is that water supply is difficult, the water consumption of super high -rise buildings is large, and its own water supply may be difficult to meet the needs. Fourth, it is difficult to board the height. In addition, most of the super high -rise buildings have underground floors, and the road surface of fire trucks has declined, and the venue of ascending operation is limited.

In October 2021, the Ministry of Housing and Urban -Rural Development and the Emergency Management Department issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Ultra -High -rise Construction Planning and Construction", which mentioned that in recent years, some cities have separated from actual needs, compared with high -rise buildings, blindly pursuing architecture blindly pursuing buildings Heights first, strange forms, raising construction costs, exacerbating energy consumption, and increasing difficulty in safety management. To this end, relevant departments in various places are required to strictly control and control measures such as new ultra -high -rise buildings and strengthen the safety management of existing super high -rise buildings. The above -mentioned "Notice" stipulates that the urban area has a resident population of less than 3 million cities strictly restricted the newly built over 150 meters of super high -rise buildings, and must not be newly built over 250 meters. The resident population of more than 3 million cities in the urban area strictly restricts over 250 meters of super -high -rise buildings, and must not be built with over 500 meters of high -rise buildings.

In July of this year, the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" Implementation Plan issued by the National Development and Reform Commission mentioned that strictly restricting the newly built super high -rise buildings: no new buildings above 500 meters, strict restrictions on new buildings above 250 meters.
