Participants engaged in exercises on extinguishing fires, rescuing people, and moving assets in mixed-use residential and business buildings, along with a fire-sport event involving asset relocation to prevent fire spread.

Twelve teams from neighborhood fire safety groups in communes and wards took part in drills on extinguishing fires, rescuing people, and moving assets in mixed-use residential and business buildings. Each eight-member team competed in firefighting and rescue formations, handling scenarios such as sounding the alarm, using extinguishers to put out fires, breaking locks to rescue victims, and relocating assets.

Twenty-four teams from grassroots firefighting units and civil defence groups competed in a firefighting sport event combined with asset relocation to prevent fire spread. Each five-member team took part in events such as hurdling, using fire blankets to extinguish a burning fuel drum, rolling water barrels, and carrying packages to the finish line.

The teams put on thrilling contests, showcasing skillful use of equipment and swiftly executing firefighting and rescue operations while maintaining safety.

On September 13, the opening ceremony of the competition will take place at Tay Bac (Northwest) Square, featuring a theory contest on firefighting and rescue knowledge, as well as a firefighting sport event involving rescue drills. The event will conclude with an awarding ceremony and closing session, and will be livestreamed on Son La Newspaper, Radio and Television’s digital platform.
