Intensified inspections and fire prevention awareness campaigns at 9 apartment complexes during the run-up to Tet (Lunar New Year).

(Dong Nai) - On January 20th, the Fire Prevention, Fighting, and Rescue Police Department of Dong Nai Provincial Police announced that from now until the Lunar New Year 2026, the unit is coordinating efforts to intensify fire safety awareness campaigns and inspections at 9 apartment buildings and social housing projects in two key wards: Tran Bien (7 facilities) and Tam Hiep (2 facilities).

The inspection focused on the responsibility of the head of the unit in maintaining the on-site fire fighting force and servicing the technical equipment system. In particular, at the parking garages, the police required the operating unit to ensure that the electrical system is installed according to standards, that wires are routed in protective conduits, and that equipment is regularly inspected and replaced to prevent the risk of short circuits and fires.

Besides inspecting infrastructure, authorities also requested that apartment building management remind residents not to park vehicles on internal roads that obstruct access for fire trucks. The Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department advised residents to raise awareness: not to burn votive paper in apartments, and to thoroughly check electrical systems and gas stoves before returning to their hometowns or going on vacation .

These are densely populated areas located on major transportation routes, posing a high risk of fire and explosions during holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year). Therefore, tightening management at the grassroots level is crucial to promptly address shortcomings, ensuring people can celebrate Tet safely and minimizing damage to people and property caused by fires and explosions.
