Raise awareness of fire prevention from the grassroots

​In 2022, the model of fire prevention and fighting safety group (Fire Prevention and Fighting) is being deployed by the Ministry of Public Security nationwide towards increasing the efficiency of initial handling of fire and explosion incidents in residential areas, especially in the deep alleys in urban areas. In Dong Nai, the People's Committees of communes, wards and towns across the province are replicating this model.

Associated with activities in residential areas

Starting from the above fires, which occurred in urban and densely populated areas, although they did not cause any loss of life, they burned down the house and many properties, threatening the fire safety and explosion of adjacent houses. Worth mentioning, in densely populated residential areas, urban areas, the risk of house fire and housing combined with production and business is assessed as quite high by the fire police force. Because in the house there are many electrical appliances, flammable items (mattresses, blankets, pillows, furniture) and always contain large heat sources (gas stoves, electric stoves, worship incense).

This is also common ground in a number of fire incidents of residential houses and houses combined production and business in residential areas occurred throughout the province recently. The nearest, noon of Nov 19, Mrs. N.T.T.'s house in Alley 48, Phan Dinh Phung Street, Thanh Binh Ward (Bien Hoa City) was burnt when the landlord locked the door, went away. Or before, on the evening of 14-11, the house was rented (as a car repair shop and sell coffee) on Bui Huu Nghia Street, Hoa An Ward (Bien Hoa City) was suddenly burning.

According to the Police Department of Fire and Rescue and Rescue, Provincial Police Rescue, from early September to 2022, the People's Committee of communes, wards and towns across the province has been working on building the model of inter-family fire safety group. This is a very new model, developed by the Ministry of Public Security to target timely alarm, ready means, quickly mobilize people at the site of fire fighting, rescue when there is a fire in residential areas, houses.

Police Commander of Tan Bien Ward (Bien Hoa City) said that the establishment of the Joint Fire Safety Team is to promote the strength of the people in fire prevention and fighting, taking the people as the center. The local police will organize training for the people in the team on how to effectively use the fire fighting means on the spot, how to initially handle the fires so that they can be well applied in practice.

This group was founded on the basis of a group of about 10 households adjacent to each other in one alley, one people's group. Each household will be equipped with at least 1 portable fire extinguisher and a demolition tool (crowbar, plus force pliers, hammer...) to be in a conspicuous place, easy to take. When a fire occurs, people in the house just need to ring the bell (the bell system of households in the inter-family unit is linked to each other, ensure that when any button is pressed, the whole household bell rings together) notify the rest of the house to provide timely assistance.

Expanding the model

Currently, across the province, localities are rushing to expand and build a joint fire safety team. Particularly in Bien Hoa City - the place with the largest population in the province, the People's Committees of communes and wards have selected residential areas in deep alleys, near markets, and densely populated areas to establish joint groups on fire safety.

As in Quyet Thang Ward, the Steering Committee of Fire and Rescue, Rescue of the ward has chosen Alley 129, quarter 2 - is a deep alley, residential area of ancient scuttling to establish a joint fire safety group. Or Tan Bien Ward chose more than 10 households in Group 10, Quarter 7 to build a fire safety safety group because this is the front of the Quarter 7 market, densely populated, each household in the group is also a small business household. shop at the market…

The leader of the fire prevention and fighting safety group in quarter 7, Tan Bien Ward, Nguyen Quang Son, said that the construction of the inter-group would help people be more aware of fire prevention and fighting. As a result, each household performs good fire safety conditions, prepares escape options, and supports adjacent households in case of fire incidents.

Leaders of the Police Department of Fire and Rescue and Rescue, Provincial Police said that the model of the Joint Fire Safety Group will contribute to improve the efficiency of the implementation of the motto “4 spot" in the fire fighting (on-site force, vehicle on-site, on-site command, on-site logistics). In particular, the individuals in the inter-group who are equipped with ready-made vehicles and receive regular training will be the first to be present when a fire is detected in a residential area, help limit the time the fire grows freely, preventing the risk of fire spreading.
