PANO - The management board of Apartment Building K26 (Project 98 of the Ministry of National Defense), in association with the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department of Go Vap district in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), held a fire-fighting exercise in the district on October 29.

A simulated scenario reads that a blaze broke out inside the building due to its dwellers carelessness. As soon as detecting the fire, the building's management board cut off the power and mobilized on-site forces to evacuate people and extinguish the fire by using available fire-fighting tools. The district then sent three fire engines to the scene. Thanks to the concerted effort and close coordination among forces, the blaze was put out after thirty minutes.
