As planned, the drill was based on a scenario that a fire suddenly broke out in the warehouse for finished products of the company, due to power failure. The blaze quickly swept throughout the warehouse because of containing many kinds of chemicals. The situation got more complicated when workers here rushed out of the warehouse. Immediately after discovering the fire, the company’s anti-fire force called provincial Anti-fire Police Department via phone number 114 and focused on dealing with the situation while waiting to be helped.
Timely, effective coordination
The fire drill was directly conducted by Colonel Nguyen Van Dut, Deputy Director of provincial Anti-fire Police Department.
Firefighters, rescuers, health workers and the staff of companies were mobilized to extinguish the fire and rescue victims. They stamped out the fire only after 20 minutes. Possibly speaking, the fire drill took place very successfully as planned.
Concluding the fire drill, Mr.Dut spoke highly of good preparation and coordination between participating units. To ensure safety on FFP, the company and other units need to further pay attention to propaganda work and have good preparation in order to opportunely solve fire incidents if occurring.
