Son La firefighters step up training ahead of 2026 firefighting and rescue competition

Officers and firefighters of the Fire Prevention, Firefighting and Rescue Police Division under the Son La provincial Department of Public Security are stepping up training ahead of the province’s 2026 professional firefighting and rescue competition, sharpening their skills to respond quickly and effectively to fires, explosions and rescue situations.

Eight wards will each field three teams representing community fire safety groups, grassroots fire prevention and firefighting and rescue teams, and civil defence forces. Meanwhile, 67 communes will be organised into 15 clusters, with each forming three corresponding teams.

Grassroots firefighting teams and civil defence forces will compete in two events: firefighting combined with moving property to prevent the spread of fire, and firefighting combined with rescuing people from burning buildings.

community fire safety groups will compete in two events. The first will test participants’ knowledge of fire prevention, firefighting and rescue through a question-and-answer session. The second will involve practical exercises in firefighting, rescuing people and moving property from houses that combine residential use with production or business activities./.
