There are thousands of service businesses in the area; among them, restaurants, hotels, markets and shopping malls are the types that pose a high risk of fire and explosion. These are places that often gather a lot of people and contain many flammable materials. At the same time, there are characteristics of visitors or small traders who are not familiar with the terrain, so they are easily confused when an incident occurs.

“Businesses such as restaurants, hotels, markets, and shopping malls are places where people gather and have a high risk of fire. Therefore, business owners and residents must raise awareness of compliance with fire prevention and fighting laws and instructions from specialized agencies.”
Major Le Van Lo, Deputy Captain of the Fire Prevention Team, Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department

In recent times, the police force has not only stopped at inspecting and handling violations, but also accompanied businesses, guiding solutions suitable to the characteristics of each facility and each business field.

For hotels - a popular type in Lam Dong province, the Provincial Police require the head of the establishment to strictly comply with fire safety regulations. Hotels are usually high-rise buildings with a high density of guests, but most visitors are not familiar with the fire escapes and can easily panic in case of an incident.

Therefore, facility owners must regularly train employees in fire prevention and escape skills, maintain automatic fire alarm and fire suppression systems, and organize fire suppression drills that are close to real-life situations.

For markets and shopping centers, where a huge amount of goods and many small traders are concentrated, the Provincial Police require the Market Management Board to fully comply with fire prevention regulations, strictly manage electricity and fire sources, arrange goods reasonably, and not block walkways or make fire-prevention distances ineffective.

Organizing regular fire drills, combined with propaganda for small traders, is considered an effective measure to improve situation handling skills right at the grassroots level.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Thien, Head of Da Lat Market Management Board, said: Fire prevention and fighting work is considered by the Market Management Board as a particularly important task. The Market Management Board has issued many specialized documents based on current legal regulations on fire prevention and fighting work and the regulations and directives of the province as well as the locality.

Every year, the Market Management Board coordinates with Lam Dong Provincial Police to organize fire prevention and fighting drills and disseminate legal regulations to all traders in the market.

Every Thursday, all vehicles and machinery serving fire prevention and fighting work at Da Lat market are deployed for inspection and ready to respond when a fire occurs.

In addition to propaganda and inspection of business establishments, the Provincial Police also reminded residents, hotel guests, customers going to markets and shopping centers to proactively observe and remember the locations of fire exits, stairs and initial fire fighting equipment for use in emergency situations.

Safety not only depends on the system, equipment or authorities, but also comes from the awareness and responsibility of each individual.
