Specifically, the competition was attended by over 3,000 contestants from nearly 500 facilities, including state agencies, schools, and businesses in industrial zones and clusters across 9 wards: Tran Bien, Bien Hoa, Tan Trieu, Phuoc Tan, Tam Hiep, Long Binh, Ho Nai, Tam Phuoc, Long Hung. This occasion is a practical annual activity, demonstrating the determination of all levels of government and functional forces in ensuring fire safety.

The competition featured two events: the "300m combined formation for firefighting, rescuing people, and protecting property," for on-site firefighting teams from ward People's Committees, agencies, and schools; and the "two-nozzle B fire pump formation for focused spraying," for grassroots firefighting teams from production units, businesses, and enterprises.

These are comprehensive tests that require teams to master skills ranging from overcoming obstacles and extinguishing fires to moving victims and property out of danger. At the same time, the events not only assess the ability to operate fire pumps but also evaluate the coordination among team members.

Through this large-scale practical inspection, the Provincial Steering Committee for Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue promptly detected and corrected shortcomings in grassroots fire prevention and firefighting. Based on this, units will develop plans to address them, ensuring that on-site forces are always fully equipped with the necessary skills and equipment.

After four days of competition, the 15 best-performing teams from Cluster 1 and Cluster 2 will compete in the provincial final at the Dong Nai Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center in Tan Trieu Ward, Dong Nai Province, scheduled for the morning of October 3.
