Building Co To special economic zone with fire prevention and fighting safety

In recent times, Co To special economic zone has mobilized the strong participation of the entire political system and the entire population in fire prevention and fighting (PCCC), becoming the first locality in the province to deploy the model of "Commune, ward, special economic zone safe in terms of PCCC & CNCH", creating a solid foundation for the goal of sustainable economic and tourism development.

As a sea and island tourist area with a large number of watercraft serving to transport passengers in and out every day, especially during peak tourist seasons, ensuring safety is always a top priority for Co To special zone. Before each journey, the captain strictly carries out the equipment inspection process, fully equips life jackets, life-saving equipment, rescue equipment, fire-fighting equipment, and organizes safety instructions for passengers. This is not only a mandatory requirement, but also demonstrates the high sense of responsibility of the vehicle owners.

Mr. Nguyen Van Tuyen, Captain of Quang Minh 56 ship, Quang Minh Transport Company Limited, shared: When passengers board the ship, I always play a video instructing on how to use life jackets and fire-fighting equipment, as well as showing the location of these devices, so that passengers can understand and be more proactive when an emergency situation occurs.

In residential areas and business establishments on the island, people's awareness of fire prevention and fighting has changed positively. Business establishments in the area have proactively invested in and installed adequate fire prevention and fighting equipment, and used fire-resistant materials that meet technical standards and current regulations. Thanks to that, there have been no fires or explosions in the Co To special economic zone.

Mr. Vu Trong Vinh, Party Cell Secretary, Head of Ward 2, Co To Special Zone, affirmed: On Co To Island, houses are built with ventilation, from design to construction, there are almost no "tiger cages", so it is easy to evacuate when an incident occurs. People have been trained many times, so they have a lot of experience and a high sense of community responsibility in fire prevention and protecting the safety of the area.

Based on the results achieved in practice, Co To special zone is the first locality in the whole province to be selected by the Provincial Police to guide and deploy the model of "Commune, ward, special zone safe for fire prevention and rescue". Mr. Dinh Duc Minh, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Co To special zone, said: "In order for the model to be implemented on schedule and bring about real results, the locality will promote propaganda work, linking the implementation of the model with emulation movements; organize thematic activities at village party cells and residential areas to disseminate the law on fire prevention and rescue, helping cadres, party members and people grasp knowledge and comply with regulations. The locality will have a plan to invest in facilities and infrastructure to do a good job of fire prevention and rescue in the area.

Launched on September 19, the model "Commune, ward, special zone safe for fire prevention, fighting and rescue" is expected to create a breakthrough right from the grassroots. Lieutenant Colonel Pham Thai Son, Captain of the Fire Fighting Team, Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department (Provincial Police) emphasized: From the effectiveness of the model, the unit continues to advise on expanding it across the province, thereby raising awareness and doing a good job of preventing and handling fire, explosion and accident situations right at the grassroots. Raising awareness and skills in preventing and handling fire and explosion situations right at the grassroots is a key factor in minimizing damage and ensuring safety for people.

The above model of Co To special economic zone not only demonstrates the proactive spirit in risk prevention, but also shows the drastic participation of the entire political system and the active participation of the people in fire prevention and rescue work. This is also an important premise for Quang Ninh to continue to replicate this model throughout the province, contributing to ensuring security and order, serving the socio-economic development in the area.
