(binhthuan.gov.vn) Over the past time, fire prevention and fighting in the province has been effectively implemented by all levels and sectors, creating positive changes; the fire situation in the province was controlled and reduced sharply (in the first 6 months of 2023, the whole province had 07 fires, reduced 07 cases compared to the same period in 2022), notably, there were no serious fire causing death nor large fire causing serious property damage.

However, besides the achieved results, the implementation of a number of targets and tasks of fire prevention, fighting, and rescue has not yet met the requirements; households, business households and people have not really voluntarily participated in the all-people movement for fire prevention and fighting, and have not actively equipped fire-fighting equipment; all levels and agencies, especially the local People's Committees have not really drastically directed the implementation of assigned targets and tasks of fire prevention and fighting.

In order to complete the targets and tasks of fire prevention, fighting, and rescue on schedule; the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee has called for "All people to participate in the implementation of fire prevention and fighting" and requested the departments, agencies, People's Committees of districts, towns and cities and suggested the Provincial Front and mass organizations to review the targets and tasks assigned by the Provincial People's Committee in recent guiding documents on fire prevention, fighting and rescue to organize effective implementation. The Provincial People's Committee will consider and handle the responsibility in each case of failure to complete the tasks, causing fire and explosion, serious damage due to lack of responsibility, loose direction and management, failure to overcome shortcomings and violations on fire prevention, fighting and rescue.

On the other hand, the district-level People's Committee shall direct the commune-level People's Committee to coordinate with the police force to complete the target from now to September 30, 2023 as mobilizing 50% of households to equip themselves with at least one fire extinguisher, each family has at least one person trained in firefighting and escape skills, and by December 31, 2023, to complete 100% in the whole province.
