Police on New Year fire alert

THE Ministry of Public Security has told police to intensify fire safety management as the fireworks bonanza that is the Lunar New Year holiday nears.

Vice Minister Li Wei ordered police departments to analyze fire risks, improve their emergency responses and focus especially on large-scale gatherings, according to a ministry statement.

Though the number of people arrested over fire accidents in 2015 was more than double the year before, fire code violations are still common, the statement warned.

It also urged local governments to put more money into fire prevention and control.
