Guangdong Carton Factory Exposed for Occupying Fire Separation Distance, Posing Fire Safety Hazard

Published:2021-05-10 · Industry News

To strengthen social fire prevention and control in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, and ensure that the city's fire safety situation remains continuously stable, various departments at all levels in Zhanjiang recently acted in unison and coordinated their efforts to carry out a concentrated fire safety law enforcement inspection campaign. At the same time, the Zhanjiang Fire and Rescue Detachment will publicly expose units and premises with fire hazards, urging them to rectify those hazards and ensure social fire safety. Among them, a local second-tier carton factory - Suixi Guangming Packaging Co., Ltd. - was exposed for fire safety hazards.

Unit name: Suixi Guangming Packaging Co., Ltd.

Address: South of Provincial Highway 374, Lingbei Town, Suixi County (Plot E, Phase II, Lingbei Industrial Park)

★ Problem: Occupation of fire separation distance.

Public records show that Suixi Guangming Packaging Co., Ltd. was established on March 23, 2017, and its business scope includes: production and sales of paper products, packaging materials, corrugated paperboard, and rubber products; printing of packaging and decorative printed matter and other printed matter, etc.

Fire separation distance is the safe distance between buildings; when a fire occurs, it can stop the fire from spreading and reduce fire losses. The fire separation distance for buildings is generally the distance allowing fire trucks to pass smoothly, usually 7 meters. According to Article 28 of the Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China: "No unit or individual may damage, misappropriate, or arbitrarily dismantle or deactivate fire protection facilities and equipment, and may not bury, enclose, or obstruct fire hydrants or occupy fire separation distances, and may not occupy, block, or close evacuation passages, safety exits, or fire truck access routes. Doors and windows of crowded premises may not be fitted with obstacles that impede escape and firefighting and rescue."

Occupying a fire separation distance and converting it to other uses will, once a fire breaks out, bring great harm to enterprises and employees and cause serious losses. Here, Huayin's editor reminds all carton factories not to occupy fire separation distances for temporary convenience, lest it create a major fire safety hazard.
