The President’s signing followed Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh’s proposal for the granting of the order on the same day.
Hieu, born in 1989 and currently working at the provincial fire prevention and rescue police division, is given the order as his act has contributed to the cause of building socialism and defending the Fatherland.
In addition to saving the men, he also coordinated with local forces and people to search for the body of a remaining victim.
