Meanwhile, the fire police and other firefighting forces should actively implement comprehensive preventive measures to control the number of fire and explosion incidents, especially serious ones.

The fire police should enhance its function of State management of fire and explosion prevention, review and complete legal documents on fire prevention, fighting and safety as well as regularly inspect fire prevention and safety plans in areas with high risk of fire and explosion, particularly inflammable production facilities, populous quarters and public places.

The minister also urged the fire police force to continuously improve firefighting and rescue qualifications and skills for firefighters, invest in modern firefighting equipment and machinery, boost coordination with local authorities, organizations and businesses in raising the public awareness of fire prevention and safety.

The ministry requested the Ministry of Information and Communications, local-level information and communications agencies as well as the press and media to increase information dissemination on fire prevention regulations and fire safety skills.

He suggested that the Ministry of Education and Training should soon enter fire prevention and fire safety as a subject into school curricular.

The Ministry of Public Security rewarded certificates of merit to 24 units and 21 individuals in recognition of their outstanding achievements in firefighting and rescue.
