According to the Fire Department, 50% of Schools in Tehran are Unsafe

The head of the Tehran Fire Department has announced that half of the schools in Tehran do not meet the necessary standards and safety requirements from a fire safety perspective, stating that schools 'are not in good condition' regarding fire safety, and since last year, 'not a single case has been reported to us indicating that a school has undertaken safety measures.' These remarks come amid recent concerns over a series of fires in girls' dormitories in the capital, raising fears of unfortunate incidents. However, according to Ali Nasiri, head of the Tehran Crisis Management Organization, 'we have detailed all safety issues' and are waiting for the relevant authorities to take necessary actions. The head of the Fire Department also emphasized that in addition to the unsafe schools, hospitals in the capital are also not in a good safety condition. Reports indicate that the issue of unsafe schools is not limited to the capital and exists in all cities.
