The State Fire Control Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations continues to take the necessary measures, within its authority, to ensure fire safety in the country.

In this context, a number of deficiencies in the field of fire safety were discovered during an inspection conducted by the State Fire Control Service at “El Pizza” restaurant in Academician Shafaat Mehdiyev street 23, Yasamal district, Baku city. So:

- the kitchen of the restaurant operating on the first floor of the residential building uses natural gas, contrary to fire safety requirements;

- the facility uses wood-burning stoves that do not meet the standard;

- the fire extinguishers of the facility were not placed at a height of 1.5 meters above the floor level;

- an evacuation plan in the event of a fire was not drawn up;

- a fire prevention regime was not determined by order to ensure fire safety at the facility;

- a certificate of compulsory insurance of the facility's real estate was not submitted.

Thus, the current situation shows that as a result of the operation of the facility, the fire that may occur there at any moment will expand in a short time and make the tragedy inevitable.

Taking into account the above-mentioned, a decision was made to suspend the activities of the “El Pizza” restaurant in Academician Shafaat Mehdiyev street 23, Yasamal district, Baku city, where gross violations of fire safety norms and regulations were discovered. A copy of the decision was submitted to the representative of the facility.
