As a result, the situation of fire prevention in cities is becoming increasingly serious. Fire safety incidents in public places in particular have occurred from time to time. In recent years, there have been many serious fire accidents at home and abroad.

High-rise building fire is characterized by the most power, and more combustible material, the rapid spread of fire, the affected area is large; higher floors, complex structure, evacuation is difficult; inadequate facilities, water is not conducive to save the rescue.

Zheng Huiqing, director of Fujian Provincial People's Congress and director of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of Yunxiao County, made a suggestion at the Third Session of the 12th NPC in Fujian Province. For the sake of protecting people's lives and property, governments at all levels should emphasize the safety of installing "electricity-free escape ladder" in high-rise buildings Facilities, and put it as one of the high-rise building security facilities.

"Governments at all levels attach great importance to the promotion and use of escape ladders and put in place special policies."

At present, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Chongqing, Henan and other provinces in the country took the lead in the introduction of "high-rise building fire safety management approach" such government regulations. Zheng Xiqing also urged that Fujian should standardize the configuration of rescue equipment, change the fire escape behavior patterns, increase public fire safety equipment investment, and vigorously promote the installation and use of escape ladder.

In addition, she also suggested that the "free electricity escape ladder" products into the province's fire protection construction will be equipped with the directory. In the future, newly built and pending high-rise buildings and crowded public places in Fujian should be given strong legal norms and guidance, set by construction and development units, and later included in property management or owner-owned units.
