Vietnam emergency response and firefighting drills

Overview

Authorities in Vietnam have conducted several large-scale firefighting and rescue simulations to enhance emergency response capabilities across different sectors.

In early October, drills were held in Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho. At Xuyen A General Hospital, a simulation involving nearly 400 participants addressed an electrical short circuit and smoke spread in an oncology area. In Can Tho, a city-level drill at the Hong Loan 5C apartment complex utilized firefighting robots and smoke extraction vehicles to manage a simulated vehicle fire and gas leak.

Later in the month, a ministerial-level drill was conducted at the Long Son Petrochemical Complex in coordination with the Ministry of Public Security and the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee. This exercise involved over 2,500 personnel and simulated complex industrial and maritime disasters, including a lightning strike causing a storage tank explosion and a maritime spill at a jetty. The drill tested multi-agency coordination using drones, specialized vessels, and medical forces.
