Analysis of the Disaster at Tainan Xinying Hospital Beimen Branch Fire

This article reviews the severity of the 2012 Tainan Xinying Hospital Beimen Branch fire and the human negligence behind it. The author believes that although the fire was caused by arson, the primary reason for the 12 deaths was the hospital housing most "mobility-impaired" patients on the second floor of the nursing home, which lacked smoke extraction equipment and escape conditions. It questions fire safety regulations that only focus on equipment and space, ignoring the special needs of "users," and calls for relevant authorities to resign in accountability.
