Largest firefighting & rescue drill at city level in Euro Jetty, DEEP C Haiphong I
On 17th January 2022, DEEP C Industrial Zones successfully organized the largest firefighting and rescue drill ever on both land and sea in Haiphong City. As the head of the fire safety group in Dinh Vu Economic Zone, DEEP C was honored to “host” the drill in Euro Jetty in Petrochemical Park of DEEP C Haiphong I.
The success came from the close and effective coordination of more than 700 participants from different forces, including Maritime search and rescue coordination center of Regional I; Haiphong Maritime Administration; Regional Command of Coast Guard I; City Military Command; City Border Guard; People’s Committee of Hai An District; EURO Jetty Vietnam Company Limited; Dinh Vu General Petroleum Company; North Oil Spill Response Center – 128 Navy one member Limited Liability Company; Department of Firefighting and Rescue Police – Quang Ninh Police; and Departments, Agencies, the businesses having fire trucks in the City.
DEEP C Haiphong I is the only industrial zone in Haiphong which owns and operates a Petrochemical Zone with a system of built-in liquids jetties and pipe racks. As various types of highly flammable or reactive chemicals in different forms can be present, managing the fire and mitigating the damage can be a huge challenge as well as a danger for any firefighting forces. Therefore, we always place a high priority on safe jetty management and operation, especially during fire prevention, fighting, and rescue.
With great success, we have achieved the goals of developing effective tactics and mobilizing manpower and vehicles from various government agencies and corporates. Most importantly, we have proved our ability to handle a challenging fire scenario or chemical spill at petrochemical facilities and ensured workplace fire safety for companies operating in DEEP C.
