In the regional tuberculosis hospital in Tikhvin falsely triggered fire alarm

On October 29, fire safety violations were detected at Tikhvin Tuberculosis Hospital, the alarm went off, but the call was false. The chief state inspector of the Tikhvin district of the Leningrad region for fire supervision Oleg Mironov announced a warning to the medical institution. This became known from the website of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation.

As it became known from the data from the website on October 29, fire safety violations were found in the TB hospital of Tikhvin (Swedish Passage, house 2). This was reported by representatives of the MES. In particular, violations of rules aimed at protecting people from fires were established. Among the violations is paragraph 54 of the Fire Safety Rules.

The supervisory authority considered false alarms of automatic fire alarm as a sign of violation of fire safety requirements. However, a false positive does not prove that the hospital violated the requirements of paragraph 54, because the cause could be a malfunction of equipment, maintenance errors, system configuration features, external factors, malfunction of individual sensors.

In this regard, the chief state inspector of the Tikhvin district of the Leningrad region for fire supervision Oleg Mironov announced a warning to the state budget medical institution of the Leningrad region “regional tuberculosis hospital in the city of Tikhvin” and instructed to ensure the proper condition of the fire protection system.
