Members of fire safety family groups are regularly provided with fire safety training.

In addition to establishing fire safety family groups in residential areas, the Provincial Police and local authorities have also focused on enhancing knowledge and skills for members, according to Lieutenant Colonel Ho Chi Thanh, Deputy Chief of the Department of Fire Prevention and Control and Rescue, Khanh Hoa Provincial Public Security.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Ho Chi Thanh, together with the fire safety family groups, the public fire safety equipment model in residential areas has been developed and supported by local authorities, bringing high efficiency in fire prevention and rescue.

Since the beginning of the year, the province has developed 302 public fire safety equipment locations equipped with portable fire extinguishers, ladders, hammers, axes, etc. for use in emergencies to prevent and extinguish fire as soon as it starts to eliminate the threat completely.
