HÀ NỘI — The international exhibition "Fire Safety and Rescue Vietnam - Secutech Vietnam 2019" on fire-fighting equipment, rescue methods, and fire prevention and protection, will be held in HCM City from August 14-16.

Major General Đoàn Việt Mạnh, director of the Department of Fire-fighting Police and Rescue, said the three-day exhibition will take place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention  Centre – SECC at 799 Nguyễn Văn Linh Boulevard in District 7.

Speaking at a press conference in Hà Nội last week, Manh said the event is expected to include 530 booths of famous brands from 21 countries and territories, including England, India, Taiwan, Germany, South Korea, the US, Russia, Japan, France, Finland, Thailand, Sweden, UAE, and Việt Nam. This represents an increase of 11 per cent compared to the number at the exhibition last year.

The exhibition will introduce advanced products and technologies in the field of fire-fighting, security, safety, prevention and rescue, and equipment used in industrial zones, roads, banks, buildings and smart houses.

This year, rescue boats from businesses in South Korea, Japan and Singapore will be displayed.

Seminars for visitors in first aid, escape, fire-fighting, rescue and troubleshooting will be organised.

The event will be an opportunity for people to experience practical fire-fighting skills and escape and rescue methods in different situations, Mạnh said.

He said the event was an important foundation for local and foreign enterprises to learn about fire-fighting equipment as well as standard systems and technical regulations on fire-fighting

It will also be an opportunity to strengthen international cooperation, and share experiences and technology transfer in the field of fire-fighting and rescue.

The event will enhance the image of the Vietnamese police force for the ASEAN community, the Asian region and the world. — VNS
