裕廊-金文泰市镇会指火患组屋消防栓 上月中旬才检查鉴定正常
日前武吉巴督武吉巴督21街的第210A组屋一单位发生火患,但居民揭发有消防喉无法运作,没来水可救火。
该区组屋由裕廊—金文泰市镇理事会负责。对此,民防部队本月8日向该市镇会发出的“消除火患隐忧通知书”(Fire Hazard Abatement Notice),市镇会有责任维修和保养消防设施,并保证这些设施能正常运作。若被发现重犯,将面对罚款甚至是被起诉。
民防部队在声明中指出,火患现场附近好几个消防栓都被锁头锁住;但即便民防人员当时撬开其中一个消防栓锁头,却发现水管根本喷不出水!
对此,裕廊-金文泰市镇会在今日回应《亚洲新闻台》,澄清有关消防栓刚在上月中旬被检查,被鉴定操作正常。
该市镇会指第210A组屋有64个消防栓,最后一次由承包商检查,是在上月14日。
不过市镇会表示接受民防部队的调查结果,即有关消防喉在火灾当天无法正常运作,“我们将调查原因,并采取适当行动。”不过,该市镇会未回应何以改组屋好几个消防栓被上锁。
民主党秘书长徐顺全也获悉裕廊-金文泰市镇会已回应此事,不过,徐顺全则质疑在火患当天早上,负责消防栓的承包商有被传召到现场,进行检查,惟报告表单则填写消防栓正常,故此要求当局澄清此事。
