The RIVP (Régie immobilière de la Ville de Paris) held an information and exchange day on Wednesday, September 30th at the Porte de Saint-Cloud, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, focusing on domestic fire prevention. The event aimed to sensitize tenants to risks and reinforce safety measures.
In response to fires that sometimes affect RIVP's heritage, the organization implements a prevention policy including maintenance of safety equipment, tenant awareness campaigns, and support in case of incidents. Simple daily gestures, such as monitoring cooking appliances and managing electrical outlets, were emphasized.
Despite unfavorable weather conditions, many tenants participated in this educational afternoon, which stemmed from dialogue between RIVP, the tenants' association, and the Association of Victims of Porte de Saint-Cloud. Activities included a children's game with Team Phénix, virtual reality training to identify fire risks, workshops on smoke detectors with FMS Incendie, first aid training by the Protection Civile, and information on home insurance by VYV Assurances.
A round table, moderated by Damien Denuet (RIVP), followed, featuring speakers such as Jérémy Redler, Mayor of the 16th arrondissement, Christine Laconde (RIVP CEO), Jacques-Frédéric Sauvage (Deputy Mayor of the 16th arr. for housing), Bénédicte Duport (RIVP fire expert), Françoise Asencio (President of the Association of Victims of Porte de St -Cloud), and Julie Morin (lawyer at FENVAC). Discussions focused on the human and material consequences of fires and prevention methods.
This collective initiative, a result of the mobilization of RIVP teams and partnerships with associations and specialized prevention actors, marks a new step in RIVP's prevention efforts. Feedback will inform future awareness campaigns.
