On the morning of September 12, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation held a conference to collect opinions from departments, agencies, branches and localities on the draft Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue; Law on People's Air Defense. Comrades: Thai Thi An Chung - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation; Tran Nhat Minh - full-time National Assembly Delegate of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation chaired the conference. Also attending were representatives of departments, agencies, branches and localities.
The Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue and the Law on People's Air Defense are two draft laws that were discussed and commented on by the National Assembly for the first time at the 7th Session.
In recent times, the National Assembly Committees, presiding agencies, and drafting agencies have actively researched, organized meetings, conferences, and workshops to absorb and revise the above two draft laws. It is expected that these two draft laws will be considered and approved at the 8th Session (October 2024).
The Draft Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue includes 9 chapters and 61 articles; regulating fire prevention, fire fighting and rescue, forces, means, ensuring operating conditions and rights, obligations and responsibilities of relevant agencies, organizations and individuals in fire prevention, fire fighting and rescue activities...
At the conference, the delegates basically agreed and were in high agreement with the draft law and said that this is an issue of great concern to society, especially in the recent past when many tragic fires have occurred across the country, causing loss of life and property. In addition, the delegates also made specific suggestions for the draft law.
The representative of the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee said that there should be stricter and more detailed regulations for housing types combined with production, business, high-rise buildings, etc., so that people can have fire prevention plans, because these are areas with high risk of fire. In particular, with some narrow roads and alleys, fire fighting vehicles cannot access, affecting fire fighting work, it is also necessary to clearly stipulate in the law to have a basis for resolution and handling...
The Forest Protection Department believes that the field of forest fire prevention and fighting should be separated from the general Law on Fire Prevention and Fighting and included in the draft of specialized laws. This will enhance the responsibility of all levels, sectors, localities, and forest owners in fire prevention and fighting, making it easier to implement at the grassroots level.
Representatives of the Nghe An Small and Medium Enterprises Association said that it is necessary to study and supplement the draft law with solutions to handle problems related to fire prevention and fighting in units and enterprises. In addition, the work of clearing post-war bombs and mines should also be included in the draft law to ensure absolute safety during the process of starting and constructing works...
Vinh City currently has many high-rise buildings, commercial centers, businesses, apartments, and houses combined with production and business. According to Vinh City leaders, currently, according to statistics, up to 70% of fires in the city are caused by electricity, electrical short circuits, and electrical overloads. Therefore, the draft law also needs to clearly and practically regulate the capacity of electrical wires and advise on the design of electrical systems for buildings and houses. In addition, there should be standards for construction materials, especially flammable and difficult-to-burn materials, so that units and people can properly implement them.
Other opinions revolve around the issue of regulations on state management responsibilities in fire prevention and fighting, regulations on fire prevention and fighting standards, fire prevention water supply systems, fire prevention and fighting equipment, etc.
In addition, some opinions suggest that it is necessary to arrange the layout and technical terms more closely, easily understood, and logically in the process of drafting the Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting, Rescue and Relief.
The draft Law on People's Air Defense consists of 8 chapters with 54 articles. This law stipulates the principles and activities of people's air defense; building and mobilizing people's air defense forces; managing unmanned aircraft, flying vehicles and ensuring air defense safety; resources, regimes, policies, rights, obligations and responsibilities of agencies, organizations, enterprises and individuals towards people's air defense...
