Some media learned from the relevant departments of Zhejiang Province that the "2.5" fire in Tiantai Zuxintang Foot Bath Center, which killed 18 people and injured 18 people, was identified as a major production safety responsibility accident. According to the accident investigation report, the direct cause of the accident is that the failure of the electric heating film ignites the spread of combustible materials around. The investigation team suggested that nine people, including Zuxintang legal person Li, should be investigated for criminal responsibility; It was decided to give disciplinary action to six cadres and admonish seven cadres.

The investigation team verified the incident as follows: On the afternoon of February 5, Zuxintang was open for business normally, with 78 people in the place, including 30 staff members and 48 customers. /kloc-around 0/7: 24, a customer who was resting in the lounge on the first floor found that the steaming room was smoking and caught fire, and immediately called the fire department. Xiong Shouxin, the manager who works in the bar, put out the fire with a fire extinguisher after hearing the cry for help. Seeing that the fire was out of control, he fled outside the store and called the second floor staff to escape. 17: 26, customers who fled outside the store asked Xu (the first caller) to call the police. Subsequently, the customers and employees in the store jumped out of the main entrance on the first floor, the west and north exits, the kitchen on the second floor and the window of the staff lounge to escape and save themselves. Among them, 18 people (2 employees of Zuxintang and 0/6 customers) were killed because they failed to escape in time, and 18 people (65,438 employees of Zuxintang and 5 customers) were injured when they escaped.

According to the investigation, the direct cause of the accident was the failure of the conductive part of the electric heating film on the northwest corner wall of Zuxintang No.2 steaming room, which led to local overheating. The electrothermal film is coated with polystyrene insulation layer, aluminum foil reflective film and wooden decorative materials, which leads to poor heat dissipation, heat accumulation, continuous temperature rise and surrounding combustible materials spread. The main reasons for the rapid spread of fire and heavy casualties are: the steaming room is airtight, the components are dry and flammable, the materials produce high-temperature toxic smoke, and the on-site personnel lack escape skills.

The investigation team believes that Zuxintang's main responsibility for safety production was not implemented and passed the fire approval permit in a false way; Unqualified construction units illegally undertake projects; The electrothermal film has serious quality defects; Inadequate supervision by the rooftop public security fire department and the local party committee and government is the indirect cause of the accident.

In the end, the investigation team determined that the nature of the accident was a major production safety liability accident. It is suggested that nine shareholders and legal representatives of Zuxintang, including Li, should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of suspected major accidents, the crime of suspected major accidents in engineering safety and the crime of suspected helping to destroy evidence, and should bear corresponding civil compensation.

At the same time, it was decided to give the deputy secretary-general of Taizhou Municipal Government Ying Zhengnan (former member of the Standing Committee of Tiantai County Committee and executive deputy magistrate) an administrative demerit; Wu Ling, member of the Standing Committee of Wenling Municipal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau (former member of the Standing Committee of Tiantai County Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau), was given administrative punishment; Pang Huahui, member of the Party Committee and deputy director of Tiantai County Public Security Bureau, was given a greater administrative punishment; Li Hua, the political instructor of Tiantai County Public Security Fire Brigade (formerly the captain of Tiantai County Public Security Fire Brigade), was given administrative dismissal; Ma Lingguang (former political instructor of Tiantai County Public Security Fire Brigade), the captain of Jinyun County Public Security Fire Brigade, was given administrative demotion; Gao Yunpeng, the education director of the Political Department of Tiantai County Public Security Fire Brigade (formerly the staff of Tiantai County Public Security Fire Brigade), was given administrative demotion.

In addition, Li Zhijian, deputy director of Taizhou Municipal People's Congress (former secretary of Tiantai County Party Committee) and other seven cadres were admonished and talked. Instruct Tiantai county government to make an in-depth inspection to Taizhou municipal government; Instruct the Taizhou Municipal Government to make an in-depth inspection to the provincial government, and send a copy to the Zhejiang Provincial Supervision Commission and the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau.

At the same time, the investigation report pointed out that the accident exposed the problems of the relevant business entities, such as weak legal concept, being driven by economic interests, being lucky in safety production, weak sense of responsibility of relevant regulatory authorities, and lax management and control. It is worth noting that the management in the field of steaming has long lacked standards and norms. At present, due to the lack of corresponding standards and regulations in the construction qualification, materials, laying technology, approval requirements, etc. of steam houses, some businesses take risks in pursuit of profits, use inferior materials, cut corners, design is not in place, and so on, and security risks emerge one after another.
