FEPV held its first fire safety competition in 2023 with the following activities:
1. Fire Safety Information Challenge:

2. Fire Safety Competition
To help the firefighting team members at FEPV familiarize with the firefighting operation and rescue procedure, the competition was designed with four levels of the firefighting practice.
． Level One: Obstruction challenge
It is evitable that firefighters have to overcome obstructions at the fire scene, and they must proceed with caution. During the obstruction challenge, contestants had to jump through three hurdles swiftly, racing against time for the rescue efforts. 
． Level Two: Technical challenge
Among the many causes of fires, the common types include a grease fire from the kitchen, electrical fire, chemical fire or fire caused by flammable substances. During this challenge, contestants needed to put out kitchen fires using one of the two techniques, covering the fire with a damp cloth or using a fire extinguisher.
． Level Three: Rescue challenge
Firefighters need to move any injured individuals away from the fire scene as soon as possible. Level three tested the contestants’ rescue ability and speed.
． Level Four: Fire hose challenge
The last and ultimate challenge involved extinguishing fires by handling the high-pressure fire hose with a good aim for the point of origin, and firefighters often need to risk their lives to identify the ignition point in the fire scene. This level required contestants to demonstrate their skills in managing the fire hose to put out the fire.

3. Comprehensive Drill: With the fire incident in Hanoi, Vietnam as the scenario, the drill involves a major fire at a motorcycle parking lot filled with gasoline and flammable substances. For this scenario, the fire was beyond the control of FEPV’s firefighting efforts, and staff had to quickly call for backup from the professional firefighters in the industrial park. A total of 18 firefighters and two fire trucks were mobilized during this drill.

This fire safety competition is not merely about competing. It is an opportunity for staff to develop fire safety awareness and rescue techniques. The competition provided solid practice for the participating teams and honed their firefighting skills. They also gained a profound understanding of the importance of emergency response during fire incidents. Future efforts will continue to improve workplace safety through similar campaigns.
