Over the past time, police officers in charge of fire prevention dissemination have proposed a number of information solutions and methods to local leadership at all levels and created a close and effective coordination between the fire fighting force with central and local press agencies.

However, the implementation of fire prevention dissemination in some localities still remained limited. In particular, the dissemination of fire prevention and fighting knowledge and skills was organized regularly while officers in charge of fire prevention dissemination lacked professional qualifications. Especially, the service failed to orient the public opinion on fire and explosion.

Major General Doan Viet Manh urged firefighting policemen to continue to improve professional skills while paying more attention to dissemination work, thereby improving fire prevention skills for people.
