City filled with high-rises is not equipped to ensure safety: Report
SHANGHAI - A senior work-safety administrator has warned of potential fire hazards in the city because its firefighting facilities are inadequate for a metropolis with an increasing number of high-rises.
A report issued by the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Work Safety highlighted hidden problems following a blaze that gutted a 28-story apartment building at Jiaozhou Road of Jing'an district, killing 58 people and injuring 71 others on Nov 15.
