Building Security
Airwell allows CCTV tower fire to spread
A fire caused by fireworks at the nearly-completed tower housing the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and China Central Television (CCTV) took 600 fire-fighters more than five hours to put out.
The fire moved quickly through the building because of an open central section that served as an airwell, according to an architect close to the project. The airwell supplied the flames with lots of oxygen, allowing them to spread throughout the structure.
Fireworks for Chinese New Year celebrations set off by CCTV staff caused the blaze in the 5 billion yuan building. CCTV declined to comment on the news to ASR.
However a statement on CCTV’s website read: “We feel very hurt that the fire caused a big loss of national wealth.. We apologise to the nearby people for the traffic jams and inconvenience caused by the fire.”
