Looked at the way of high-rise escape in other countries, only to find that our escape equipment is so lacking in defects of many.
First, let’s look at the Russian high-rise escape devices ……
There are also Japanese, watched the Japanese drama know, their balcony and our balcony style is not quite different.
Our balcony is basically each family independently separated, but also added a lot of extra strong security windows to prevent theft.
The balconies of Japanese apartments are mostly open, without any closed facilities, and neighbors are only separated by 5 mm thick plastic panels.
Many people will wonder, is this a Japanese real estate agent cutting corners? But when a disaster such as a fire house occurs, you will understand which is superior.
In the case of corridors and passageways can not pass normally, we kind of closed balcony is tantamount to cut off their own way!
I believe you can see all kinds of bloody examples in the news ……
In the case of a balcony like the one in Japan, there are two ways to escape – one that leads to the next door neighbor.
When there is a fire or other dangerous situation at home, the occupants only need to break this block to run to the neighbor’s home for refuge.
The other is the way to the downstairs.
Each home has one of these manhole covers on the floor of the balcony with the evacuation logo printed on it ……
Just open it will pop up a folded ladder, climb it can be safe to go downstairs!
And such ladders are available on every floor, so residents can always follow it to the first floor.
Of course, people with limited legs can also choose to add a fully automatic elevator, so that in case of danger, they can go to the escape route at the touch of a button!
With this kind of evacuation route and open balcony, the fire death rate in Japanese apartments is very low.
As long as the residents operate properly, there are basically no casualties.
I have to admit, people’s high-rise escape facilities are indeed more than the domestic escape equipment perfect, of course, this is also related to the Japanese strong sense of risk prevention.
In order to be safe, Japanese housing developers are giving the balcony as a public space to the residents for free, because they can unify the construction of escape facilities.
Residents can only simply grow flowers and plants on the balcony and dry their clothes.
The installation of security windows, partition walls, and piles of debris are forbidden!
If anyone dares to obstruct the normal use of the escape route, they will be found and even be subject to lawsuits.
Escape devices also have professionals to regularly overhaul to ensure that the chain does not fall off when a dangerous situation occurs.
In contrast, the domestic in this regard is much more perfunctory.
The developer is not happy to give away the balcony for free and install an escape device, and the residents are not happy to share the balcony and make holes in it.
Of course, if you really want to follow the Japanese practice, privacy and property security are also a difficult issue. The Koreans have also thought of this, so they have set the escape device in the common area, and can escape by pushing open the door.
