As I work for a company which produces fire fighting equipment such as fire extinguishers, ladders and hatches, I felt very upset when I heard the sad news.
In my country, detached houses must have smoke and heat detectors according to construction law, and apartments must have fire extinguishers.
In addition, apartments usually have fire escape ladders and hatches installed on their verandas. I'm not sure whether these would be effective once smoke inhalation occurs but at least this equipment is mandatory based on fire fighting and construction laws.
From my apartment, I often see people disposing of flammable substances via their own waste pipes but no-one warns them about it or takes any notice. Sometimes I try and warn the person myself about disposing of substances such as cigarettes and make a notice by myself.
I see some fire fighting equipment such as fire hydrants and extinguishers around, but I'm not sure if they work because I haven't seen them in action.
Security guards at my apartment check the equipment regularly to ensure it's in working order. However, there aren't any measures in place to help residents escape from balconies when a fire breaks out, so I have prepared a very long rope ladder, just in case.
