We know that the fire lane is the “life passage”. When a fire occurs, it is the passage to ensure firefighters to quickly reach the fire site, put out the fire and save lives and property. It is also the passage for 120 medical rescue and other emergency rescue. No unit or individual shall occupy it at will and must keep it unblocked at all times. Blocking and occupying the fire lane, whether directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, will face corresponding legal liabilities. However, the reality is that due to lagging planning, poor management and other reasons, the phenomenon of fire lane occupation is widespread. In case of fire, it is very easy to cause heavy casualties and property losses. Two years ago, such a case occurred in Fengtai District, Beijing. A house in a community caught fire accidentally. After the fire, due to the blockage of the fire passage, the trapped people did not get rescue in time, resulting in 70% deep burns of a 62 year old indoor. After ineffective treatment, he died and another baby was injured.

After the incident, the developer of the community was sued in court. The reason for the lawsuit was that the developer clearly knew the importance of the fire access, but did not maintain the smoothness of the fire access according to the fire design requirements, arbitrarily acquiesced that the property company changed it at will, and the fire lane of the community was occupied by fixed parking spaces for a long time, hindering the passage of fire engines at the critical moment of life and death, Increase the spread of the fire, resulting in the final death of the trapped.
