Feasibility Study of Vietnam Fire and Disaster Prevention Agency Improvement Project through ODA Project II

Abstract

In this report, the results of the selection of firefighting vehicles based on the “Feasibility Study of Vietnam Fire and Disaster Prevention Agency Improvement Project through ODA Project I” are summarized. Population, jurisdictional area, and population density were analyzed in 58 provinces and in terms of fire response. The evidence of the age of firefighting vehicles, the number of firefighting targets, and the trend of reinforcement of firefighting vehicles over the past four years was identified. Because Vietnam is undergoing rapid urbanization and industrialization at the same time, firefighting conditions are changing quickly, and the demand for firefighting is expected to increase rapidly. Such an ODA support project can contribute to improving the supply ratio of firefighting vehicles in Vietnam and reducing damage to life and property resulting from fire. In the long term, the improvement of safety in the field of firefighting and disaster prevention is expected to contribute to the stable growth of the economy of Vietnam, which is undergoing rapid development. As the basis for selection to support firefighting vehicles, the total number of firefighting vehicles in Vietnam was determined based on area, population, population density, number of firefighting vehicles in each region, degree of deterioration, number of firefighting targets by region, and reinforcement performance of firefighting vehicles in each region for the past four years. It was possible to obtain the results for pump trucks, ladder trucks, and wreckers in 12 areas in 58 provinces.
