The centre was developed by renovating a five-story training tower covering nearly 130 square meters on a total area of over 2,200 square meters.

According to Colonel Hoang Van Binh, Head of the Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Division, Hai Phong City Police quickly fulfilled the necessary conditions and upgraded the tower’s functionality. The centre features artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) practice models donated by the Korean Safety Education Association through its legal representative in Vietnam — Vietnam Safety Co., Ltd.

Designed as a space for practical learning and hands-on experiences, the centre offers professional training programmes on fire prevention, firefighting, and rescue for various groups, including students, residents, and community organisations.

This project addresses the urgent need for community education while demonstrating a strong commitment to protecting lives and property from fire, accidents, and other emergencies. It also serves as a platform for disseminating legal knowledge, fire prevention techniques, and rescue measures tailored to different age groups, professions, and fields.

Major General Vu Thanh Chuong, Director of the Hai Phong City Police, emphasised the increasing complexity of fire, explosion, and accident situations across the country, including in Hai Phong. The centre aligns with the directives from the Ministry of Public Security, offering realistic, practical, and humane training experiences.

Visitors to the centre can engage in realistic scenarios, familiarise themselves with firefighting and rescue equipment, and learn essential survival skills to assist others during emergencies.
