Russia: Deadly fire sweeps through psychiatric institution

They really should be more strict about regulations. I mean, psychiatric institutions really shouldn't have any kind of weapons inside them.

I agree, especially if it's a psychiatric institution

Yes the Russian government should step in to make sure all hospitals are up to regulations therefore accidents like this are prevented from happening and so that the government can easily assure that every hospital is providing reliable care for each of its patients.

yea definately they should be strict on regulations! hospitals should protect and cure people not kill or injure them more

yes the government should definetly step up the regulations, especially since two hospitals have already caught fire and left many people dead.

The Russian government should get involved in regulating it. They already control pretty much everything else...

The Russian Governments definiatelty needs to step in to regulate their government institutions. It is the right of the citizens to feel safe and protected by their government.

of course, their mental health is already at risk because of their mental illness, but at least their physical health should be protected because the hospital is something the government can control.

If the fire was started by a patient, the hospital really should regulate what the patients are allowed to have in their room. It is clearly dangerous for someone with a mental illness to have something that could start a fire.

I definitely think that the Russian government should step in and make sure all hospitals are up to regulation, especially after two different fires broke out at psychiatric hospitals.

That sounds sad and scary. A fire in a mental hospital? That should be prevented at all costs. The Russian government should provide better safety measures for its people, especially those in a psychiatric institution!!

Partysquid · Senior Member

But then again, it IS Russia. They probably don't even know what safety regulations are. Their time is spent of communism and dreams of potatos. K

I agree with olga i think there should be more better safety so stuff like this does not happen

Places like this should have an evacutaion plan when things like this happen.

Yes they should step up, esp since this mental health facility was a "low level wooden building". Last time i checked any sort of wooden building is a potential fire hazard...and plus that's much easier to break out of versus cement or something...
