Appropriate management of evacuation passages

Many of the large-scale fires that occurred in the past, such as the fire in Shinjuku Kabukicho, which occurred on September 1, 2001 and killed 44 people, were near stairs, passages, and fire doors in the building. Because things were placed, the fire spread, the evacuation was hindered and escape was delayed, and flames and toxic smoke flowed into the room without closing the fire doors closed, and flames and toxic smoke flowed into the room.

A fire is very scary.

Building officials are required to check the evacuation method on a regular basis so that they do not regret such as "It has become irreparable." Please do not place objects near the fire door, and manage it properly.

For owners and tenants of small-scale multi-family buildings, please also check "Small multi-purpose building owners and tenants".

Also, if you feel the danger of a fire because things are placed in evacuation passages, etc., please contact the nearest fire department.
