The fire prevention and rescue exercise took place at CityLand Tower.

With increasingly unpredictable climate patterns, incidents such as fires and explosions have become more frequent, causing significant damage to both people and property. As a result, fire prevention and safety at business facilities have become a heightened priority for the People’s Committee of Go Vap District and the Go Vap District Police Department.

In recent years, CityLand’s leadership has placed strong emphasis on fire prevention and safety, actively implementing programs that have produced positive results. This initiative is designed to equip employees with essential fire response skills, teamwork protocols, and proficiency in using firefighting and rescue equipment. It also aims to raise personal responsibility in following fire safety procedures in the workplace..

Fire prevention and rescue awareness training has become an annual activity at CityLand

As a company that values employee training, CityLand kicked off the program with a professional fire safety session for staff across its subsidiaries and member companies. The drill officially began at 10:30 AM with a simulated scenario in which smoke was detected coming from the 6th floor of the CityLand Tower. The initial cause was identified as an electrical short circuit. The in-house fire safety team promptly guided staff to evacuate the building safely and used on-site equipment to control the blaze. Shortly after, two fire trucks, a command vehicle, and dozens of officers from the Go Vap District Fire & Rescue Police—along with supporting units such as Ward 5 police and on-site security—arrived to coordinate the firefighting effort. The drill was conducted to assess the responsiveness of the in-house fire safety team as well as the collaborative readiness of external units in handling large-scale fires. The scenario also helped determine evacuation and rescue strategies suitable for high-rise buildings.

The drill proceeded smoothly as planned, thanks to the close coordination among the Go Vap District Fire & Rescue Police, Ward 5 police, and CityLand staff working at the tower. This event not only highlighted CityLand Group’s commitment to fire safety but also served as a valuable opportunity for employees to practice emergency protocols and raise awareness—especially during the dry season.
