The conference was attended by 200 delegates, including Party cell secretaries, heads of the Front Committee, and heads of residential groups. At the conference, the ward police deployed tasks on fire prevention and fighting; Hai Ba Trung Electricity Company disseminated electrical safety skills in fire prevention and fighting.
To date, Bach Mai Ward has established 222 fire safety inter-family models with 578 members and 638 public firefighting point models. Since the beginning of the year, there have been 4 fires in the ward, including a level III fire that killed one person and caused property damage of about 6 billion VND.

The fires that occurred in the ward showed a major problem in fire prevention and fighting: The sense of responsibility of the heads of some agencies, units, households and businesses is still limited. In particular, old collective houses and facilities operating before the Law on Fire Prevention and Fighting came into effect (2001) were built and put into operation for many years, so the application of fire prevention and fighting solutions and measures according to current standards encountered many difficulties and were difficult to overcome.
Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the Ward People's Committee Nguyen Hoanh Dung said that in the first 6 months of 2025, the fire prevention and fighting work in the ward has received attention, but there are still some limitations that need to be rectified and overcome immediately.

Specifically, the awareness of compliance with fire prevention and fighting regulations of a number of people and businesses is still limited, especially in households that combine production and business, multi-storey houses, and multi-household houses. The electrical system is old, arbitrarily expanded, and the electrical wires are unsafe, easily causing short circuits and fires, especially in the hot season. On-site fire prevention and fighting equipment is not fully equipped, many places have mini fire extinguishers that are no longer working, and people lack skills to use them. Inspection and handling of violations are not thorough; sanctions for violations of fire prevention and fighting are not strong enough to deter.
Faced with the current urgent need, Vice Chairman of the Ward People's Committee Nguyen Hoanh Dung requested agencies and units to review and inspect the fire prevention and fighting system in old collective housing areas, crowded houses, and business establishments with high risk of fire and explosion.
The ward widely propagates to each household and residential group, raising awareness of responsibility for fire prevention and fighting; organizes training on escape skills and the use of fire extinguishers; launches the movement "All people participate in fire prevention and fighting" associated with building the model of "Fire Prevention and Fighting Safe Residential Area"; rectify and strictly handle establishments violating fire prevention and fighting, in which the situation of "detection but no handling" is not allowed.
“We request that residential groups, agencies, units, schools, households, and businesses in the ward join hands to strengthen extensive propaganda work, organize practical activities to raise awareness and fire prevention and fighting skills and build fire-safe residential areas. Thereby contributing to ensuring security and safety to welcome the important political event of the locality,” emphasized comrade Nguyen Hoanh Dung.
