Huu Bang craft village (Huu Bang commune, Thach That district, Hanoi) is home to many close-knit factories, mainly producing furniture and mechanics, with a lot of combustible materials (more than 4,000 households doing woodwork, accounting for 75% of total households in the commune).

Because the production and business households are adjacent to each other, people’s self-ensurement of fire safety is not high, leading to a very fast fire rate, a very wide fire range, and a lot of property damage. great. On average, there are 6 to 10 large and small fires in this area every year, causing property damage. Along with that, in these craft villages, there are often alleys, small hamlets, and a large population, so when a fire occurs, it is difficult for fire trucks to approach the fire.

From the above fact, with the spirit of 4 on the spot in the fight against “fire enemies”, 9 mobile fire fighting teams of 9 residential villages with more than 120 members were established, equipped with 3 ambulances. Homemade fire extinguishers and other fire fighting tools meet the needs of on-site fire fighting. All equipment of the above special fire fighting teams comes from donations and support from local people. Up to now, the whole Huu Bang commune has been equipped with fire hydrants along with 16 underground water tanks with a capacity of 25 – 50m3 and 3 wells in 3 villages.

The mobile fire truck is converted from a commonly used cargo truck, with a tonnage of more than 2 tons, carrying a high pressure pump, a water tank with a capacity of more than 1,200 liters and many other specialized fire fighting materials. capable of running through small alleys of craft villages, ensuring the fastest access to the fire according to the motto of fire prevention and fighting 4 on the spot.
