classmates:
At 6:11 am on May 25, the school's fire control center received a smoke alarm signal from a smoke detector in a dormitory on the first floor of Zone D of Phase I of Zhonglan Student Apartments. The school's fire and security personnel rushed to the scene to deal with the situation and called the 119 emergency number at the same time.
After receiving the alarm, Chaoyang Fire Department quickly dispatched forces to the scene to deal with the situation. At 6:39, the fire in the dormitory was extinguished. No one was trapped or injured at the scene. After preliminary investigation, it was suspected that the power bank caused the fire in the dormitory.
This fire has brought a lot of inconvenience to many students' study and life, and we feel deeply guilty. At present, all departments of the school are working hard to deal with the follow-up related work and do their utmost to reduce the impact of this fire on students. We will take this as a warning, carefully check various fire safety hazards, and deal with any problems found in a timely manner without any tolerance.
We noticed some rumors about the fire on the Internet, such as “the smoke detector did not sound an alarm” and “the fire hydrant failed to work”. In fact, the dormitory area did not have the above problems, because the smoke alarm was used to send an alarm to the school's central control room, which received the smoke alarm signal and immediately initiated emergency measures, and the fire hydrant was fully functional. At the same time, we received many suggestions from students on improving fire protection through the “CCTU with Me” platform for suggestions and advice. We will study them carefully and make improvements.
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that the fire that occurred outside the north gate of the Bangzijing dormitory area of Communication University of China last year has attracted particular concern from many friends in the society. We have been working with relevant departments to urge them to pay attention to fire safety. Thank you for your concern!
If you have any difficulties, please contact your counselor or college secretary at any time 24 hours a day. The teachers are always with you.
Security Department of Communication University of China
The “fire that occurred outside the north gate of the Bangzijing dormitory area of Communication University of China last year” mentioned in the official announcement refers to the fire that broke out at the Cainiao Station next to the Bangzijing student apartment of Communication University of China on the evening of November 14 last year. According to Beijing News Radio, eyewitness students revealed that the fire started at about 22:10 and was only about 10 meters away from the nearest dormitory building.
