Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thi Minh Thuy and Colonel Diep Van The, Deputy Director of the Provincial Police, presented commemorative flags to the units participating in the exercise.

The hypothetical scenario takes place at a factory in a fishing port.

The hypothetical scenario is that an explosion unexpectedly occurs in a shipment at the Kisimex Enterprise, a subsidiary of Kien Giang Fisheries Joint Stock Company. At the time, approximately 100 workers were present, cleaning and maintaining the facility. The fire quickly engulfed the entire shipping area.

Upon detecting the fire, members of the factory's Fire Prevention, Firefighting, and Rescue Team quickly pressed the fire alarm button and simultaneously telephoned the factory director, the 114 Command Information Center, the People's Committee of Binh An Commune, and the Binh An Commune Police.

Authorities evacuated and rescued people.

Professional firefighters dealt with the fire.

Following orders from the An Giang Fishing Port Management Board to mobilize forces and resources for firefighting, rescue, and relief operations, firefighting and rescue teams from companies, businesses, and enterprises at Tac Cau Fishing Port came to assist in rescuing victims, moving property, and extinguishing fires.

Upon receiving the report, the Fire Prevention, Firefighting and Rescue Police Department dispatched 1 command vehicle, 1 rescue vehicle, 5 fire trucks, 1 equipment transport vehicle, 2 pickup trucks, 3 pumps, and 2 air compressors to the scene to extinguish the fire and conduct rescue operations.

Authorities are actively fighting fires and rescuing people on fishing vessels.

After 20 minutes, the firefighting and rescue forces completed their mission, the fire was completely extinguished, and over 50 people trapped in the fire and 10 people trapped in the water were brought to safety.

The drill aims to raise awareness and knowledge of fire prevention, firefighting, and rescue among officials, employees, and sailors of companies, enterprises, and fishing vessels at Tac Cau Fishing Port in particular and throughout the province in general. It also assesses the ability of the local fire prevention, firefighting, and rescue forces to handle fire and explosion incidents, as well as the command, control, and coordination capabilities of various forces in the province in dealing with large-scale and complex fire and explosion situations.
