Raed Arafat, head of the Department of Emergency Situations, said this Digi24that the Ministry of the Interior reported problems at ISU Prahova, due to the fact that the chiefs of the Prahova fire department, who supervised the Ferma Dacilor guesthouse in 2019, were fired two years ago after reports, but “why no checks were carried out” later, we have nothing to explain here.”

• “The former chief inspector of the Prahova county inspection and the former first deputy of the Prahova county inspection, who left 2 years ago, left against their own will. So they followed up on several referrals after declassification following findings of their activities on several situations. Then their departure showed that problems were noticed in the ministry, because of which they were forced to go into reserve.
• Why there were no further checks, we have nothing to explain here.
• The report concerns the period 2019 – 2023, the situation is simple. In 2019 there was an inspection, 6 violations were found, only warnings were given, and then until today, no one went there, which is strange for us, especially when you find violations, you go and check again, in no way has it passed 4 years, let’s leave 2 years of the pandemic, that’s another 2 years after the pandemic. Let’s say we were very busy with the issue of the war in Ukraine in the first few months of 2022, but there was the rest of 2022 and 2023 and it still hasn’t been visited there,” Raed Arafat told Digi24.

Ferma Dacilor, without building permit, fire safety permit and operation as a residential unit

The tourist complex Ferma Dacilor operated for decades without the necessary approvals.

This was announced by ISU Prahova the boarding house does not have a fire safety permit.

ISU Prahova did in 2019 reputation check at a guesthouse in Tokhan Farm Dachilor. At that time, the representatives of the housing unit did not provide documents from which it would be possible to determine the moment of commissioning, to establish the need to request and obtain a fire safety approval/permit.

• “In order to achieve this goal, a substantive inspection was conducted in 2019, 6 violations were found, one of which was eliminated during the inspection, and 6 warnings were issued,” reports ISU Prahova.

At the time of the inspection, no documents were provided to the inspectors from which it was possible to determine the moment of commissioning to establish the need to request and obtain a fire safety approval/permit, the ISU said.

According to the Tohani Tourist Complex’s official website, the foundations of the business were laid in 2013, which was also confirmed by Cornel Diniku, an entrepreneur who identifies himself as the owner of the business, even though he is not listed in the documents of the company that controls the guesthouse.

The prefect of Prahova, Virgiliu Nanu, said that the Dacian farm was built without a permit and became legal only in 2020, when a construction certificate was obtained for these buildings.

The prefect said that according to information received from the local authorities, the tourist complex Ferma Dacilor from Tohani did not have permission to operate as an accommodation unit

The tragedy at Ferma Dacilor has forced the authorities to start an inspection of all guesthouses in Prahova for fire safety permits, according to the order of Prefect Virgiliu Nanu, head of Prahova’s PSD.
