According to the hypothetical situation, at 8:30 a.m., a fire broke out in the basement - the parking lot of officers and employees working at the 11-story building of Nghe An Radio and Television Station. After detecting the smoke, the police on duty to protect the agency immediately pressed the fire alarm and called the professional fire department.

Before the fire police force arrived, the fire fighting work was urgently carried out by officers and employees of Nghe An Radio and Television Station according to the 4-on-the-spot principle: Evacuating people and property and using fire fighting equipment equipped at the workplace to put out the fire, in order to minimize the damage caused by the fire.

10 minutes later, the Fire Police force arrived, and the fire fighting contract between professional forces and on-site forces was deployed synchronously.

However, because the basement is home to many motorbikes, cars and flammable materials, the fire is at risk of spreading. Therefore, in parallel with the fire fighting, the fire police force used specialized ladders, combined with air cushions to evacuate the people still trapped above.

The drill was considered a success thanks to careful preparation, close coordination between units and serious rehearsal spirit of the members.

Besides, it is necessary to mobilize the fire fighting force properly, sufficiently and proactively in providing safety equipment./.
