can residents or shops use the water from fire hydrants privately? lawyer lin xiaoming, a partner of sichuan yishang law firm, believes that from the purpose of the water connection, "the hotel uses the water from the fire hydrant for emergency cleaning" does not belong to emergency avoidance, and it should be considered that it has misappropriated the water from the fire hydrant, and it can even be classified as unauthorized deactivation of fire-fighting equipment and instruments. according to the "fire protection law of the people's republic of china", no unit or individual may damage, misappropriate or dismantle or deactivate fire-fighting facilities and equipment without authorization, and may not bury, occupy, block fire hydrants or occupy fire protection distances. otherwise, according to article 60 of the "fire protection law of the people's republic of china", the unit "shall be ordered to correct and fined not less than 5,000 yuan but not more than 50,000 yuan", and the individual "shall be warned or fined not more than 500 yuan". therefore, the relevant departments can punish the hotel as a unit or the specific person according to the specific behavior.
