The 2024 forest fire fighting and search and rescue drill in Van Ho district.

The drill was divided into two parts, including theory and practice. In the theory part, Van Ho district’s steering committee for urgent issues in forest protection and fire prevention and fighting held a meeting to disseminate the directives and dispatches of the Chairperson of the provincial People's Committee; and consider adjusting and supplementing forest fire response and search and rescue plans, implementing forest fire prevention and fighting, and promptly responding to emerging situations.

The practice session of the fire prevention and fighting drill is held in Co Long hamlet, Long Luong commune, Van Ho district.

 

On-site forces in Co Long hamlet, Long Luong commune practice forest fire fighting.

The practice part took place in Co Long hamlet, Long Luong commune, including three stages: before the forest fire broke out, when the forest fire broke out, and concluding fire fighting and fixing the consequences. The hypothetical situation was that households, in the process of burning fields, subjectively made the fire catch a hut and regenerated forest in an area with dangerous and extremely dangerous fire levels. They shouted for a number of surrounding households to help put out the fire. However, dry weather combined with strong winds caused the fire to spread.
