Thereby, promptly detecting loopholes, problems, risks, dangers that can cause fires, accidents, incidents to promptly overcome.
People need to ensure the safety of electrical systems, equipment, and stoves. Turn off the fire and disconnect electrical equipment when not in use. Be careful when burning incense and votive paper. Manage and use gasoline, gas, chemicals, and flammable goods and materials in accordance with regulations.
Minimize the amount of flammable and combustible goods stored in the combined residential and production and business premises.

Arrange forces and means for fire fighting and rescue on site. Patrol and guard 24/7 including holidays and Tet; pay special attention to times outside of office hours and at night to promptly detect and extinguish fires as soon as they arise (5 golden minutes).

Develop on-site fire fighting plans. Organize civil defense teams to participate in practice handling simulated fire situations close to reality. Develop a coordination mechanism with forces to cut off electricity, escape, rescue, fire fighting, first aid, identify locations and water intakes for fire fighting.
