In the first 6 months of the year alone, the province had 122 fires, including 30 large fires. In particular, during the peak of the hot weather from mid to late June 2019, 74 fires occurred in the province, including 66 forest and vegetation fires. Many consecutive fires occurred in many places, making it very dangerous and difficult for the authorities to carry out fire fighting operations.
Faced with that situation, the Fire Police force of Nghe An province overcame all difficulties and hardships to deploy many solutions and measures to effectively carry out fire prevention and fighting work.
Specifically, nearly 400 fire trucks were dispatched and more than 5,000 officers and soldiers were mobilized to fight fires, not only in the province but also to support firefighting forces in Ha Tinh province.
The 114 Center of the provincial Fire Police force quickly received and promptly handled reports of fire and rescue. During the fire fighting process, the Fire Police saved 21 lives, guided hundreds of people to escape, and saved resources and assets estimated at hundreds of billions of VND.
