First, it may be a fire caused by cigarette butts. The specific cause of the fire in Shanghai University has not been found. However, according to the fire report issued by firefighters, the fire should have occurred in a temporary garbage dump area on the west side of the dormitory building, where some garbage was piled up, and that's where the fire started. As the trash can caught fire, it was probably caused by unlit cigarette butts.
Second, smoking, fire and electrical appliances should be banned in student dormitories. The dormitory is densely populated, and the dormitory is full of students' quilts and clothes. These things ignite easily. In the event of a fire, the area involved is relatively wide, so the safety work of the student dormitory should be more rigorous. School administrators should prohibit students from smoking or using high-power electrical appliances in the dormitory to avoid fire.
Third, in the event of a fire, it is necessary to evacuate in an orderly manner. Although the dormitory fire in Shanghai University was serious, no casualties were caused. In addition to the timely arrival of firefighters, it is also important for students to evacuate in a very orderly manner. There was no panic or stampede during the evacuation. When there is a fire in public places, orderly evacuation is very important. If there are many people, you can disperse to both sides to avoid crowded stampede accidents.
