Emphasis will be placed on boosting the effectiveness of popularisation work and mobilising people’s involvement in fire prevention and fighting, in addition to stepping up collaboration between relevant units to get fires under control in the fastest possible way.
To limit fires and serious human and property losses, the municipal Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department will continue to enhance the effectiveness and professionalism of the work, said Vice Director of the department Hoang Quoc Dinh.
