The signboard of a motorcycle repair shop on Minzu Road, Xindian District, New Taipei City caught fire around 8 a.m. The fire department dispatched 13 fire trucks and 36 personnel to the rescue and evacuated 9 residents of the same apartment building.

The Audit Department report pointed out that 15% to 20% of residential fire alarms in Taiwan are overdue or have been used for more than ten years and may fail at critical moments. The New Taipei City Fire Department explained that applications for residential alarms are mainly for apartments below the fifth floor and open-air apartments, with priority given to groups such as the elderly living alone and low-income households. It also emphasized that installation must be done within three days after receipt. The kitchen must be equipped with a constant-temperature type, and the corridors of large living rooms must be equipped with photoelectric types. For daily maintenance, follow the "press, wipe, and replace" formula.

A fire broke out in a house on Shatian Road, Shalu District, Taichung City at around 12 noon. Upon receiving the report, the fire department immediately dispatched 11 vehicles and 15 people from the Shalu, Wuqi, Qingshui and Longjing units to rescue the fire. It took about 20 minutes to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, no one was injured. The scene was a brick building on the second floor and iron on the third floor. The fire broke out on the first floor, burning an area of about 25 square meters. The residents, who were suspected to be many foreign migrant workers, ran for their lives in a hurry when the fire broke out, without even having time to put on their shirts. The cause of the fire remains to be investigated.

As of June this year, the installation rate of residential fire alarms nationwide reached 99.17%. However, among the main causes of fire escape deaths in 2024, failure to install alarms and automatic alarm equipment will still account for 59.46%. The Fire Department pointed out that about 170,000 households refused to install them, and about 70,000 households had residential alarm batteries that had exceeded their useful life. Maintenance and promotion need to be strengthened. In response to electrical fires and the difficulty in escaping for the elderly, firefighting units have proposed six major countermeasures, including improving the intrinsic safety of home appliances, updating old wiring, promoting flame-proof products, and strengthening fire prevention education. The report of the Audit Department shows that the Beijing Municipal Consumer Affairs Bureau has achieved remarkable results in promoting residential alarms, but the problem of expired batteries needs to be solved urgently.
