Citizens, students practice fire prevention, rescue activities

The Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue Police Division, in coordination with commune and ward police forces across Son La province, simultaneously organised awareness-raising and hands-on fire prevention and rescue training sessions for local citizens, teachers, and students on September 14-15.

As part of the experiential activities, fire and rescue police officers, along with local police, provided knowledge and skills on how to handle fire and explosion incidents, as well as escape techniques in case of household fires or fires in crowded places. They also introduced the “Safe Inter-family Firefighting Group” model, the “Model Community Firefighting” model, and promoted the campaign “My House Has a Fire Extinguisher.” In addition, participants learned about the on-site firefighting and rescue equipment and tools.
