This fire one more time to see the " helpless " before the height of the fire fighting force Hanoi . After the fire , plans to buy a helicopter rescue was considering Hanoi .

Before electricity tower fires a month , a fire or explosion also shows that the " embarrassing " in the rescue work of the fire force town . Approximately 5:30 minutes dated 3/11/2011 , Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ngan ( 37 years old ) turned up the gas stove to boil water on the first floor , gas suddenly exploded .

The fire happened in front Central Military Hospital has left thousands of people rushed out and stood watching . Police first affordable wireless in some bordering route to firefighters on duty . It was not until 18h , ie undergone 6 hours , hundreds of new firefighters to extinguish the fire .

Hanoi police are helpless before the great fire ?

A review of major fires can see , most of the fires " offensive " Police Fire Hanoi have happened with the case of high-rise fire , burning down the house or in situations trained as fire at petrol stations , chemical manufacturing facility ...

Obviously need to praise the spirit of the soldiers discharged rolling fire when their employees into the flames to save people and property of the people . However , partly due to lack of equipment to meet the needs and partly because of the direction , make plans and coordinate fire suppression , rescue , so there are problems in fires , explosions complex rescue work is still revealing embarrassing publicity led to talk of rescue work .

It can be seen clearly that in the case of gasoline tank car fires spread to houses on fire Tran Hung Dao past . When receiving reports of people burning , Police Department Fire Hanoi immediately dispatched five fire engines to put out the fire should have been quickly controlled the fire at 2 stores spread fire eating and not for fire spread further into people's houses .

However , may not hold due to the fire on the petrol station fires can cause should have just ordered a police car arrived on the scene spraying water without foam car that initially the police should have taken the country to extinguishing oil fires caused more major burns . In principle , if the gasoline fire extinguishing water will cause the fire to flare more .

Of course , then led Police Fire Hanoi explained the extinguishing water spray to cool the gas tank of petrol , but many avoid exploding the idea that this is only one interpretation .

Fire Department as revealing a lack of " professionalism " of the police force, Fire over Hanoi when to 2pm , the fire was extinguished tankers of petrol in the tank truck has expired .

However, by not calculate the flames might flare up again because the bottom of the tank petrol also have to be extinguished after about 15-20 minutes , the flames flared up again and work study households had lasted 6 hours after hundreds of volumes of sand are poured over to fill the gas tank mouth and pump water into the tank .

Obviously if after the fire was extinguished , if the work of professional fire immediately , the need for measures to avoid burning at the bottom of the gas tank need to be taken into account and preventive measures . However, it may not be considered.

Hopefully the prevention of fire in Hanoi next time will be better deployment , minimize damage to people.
