Another chance to save people from life-saving points by the bridge in Hai Phong
Hai Phong - Many localities in Hai Phong have installed life-saving points at bridges, proactively equipping equipment to respond when incidents occur on rivers.
Equipping lifeguards right at the bridges
In recent days, at many bridges in Hai Phong, life-saving points have been installed and supplemented with equipment to respond to situations where people encounter accidents in the river.
Recorded in Hai Duong ward, life jackets and lifebuoys are arranged in specialized cabinets, placed in easy-to-recognize and convenient-to-reach locations. Each lifeline point has a user manual right next to it, helping people to quickly perform operations when an emergency situation occurs.
According to the instructions, when discovering an accident victim underwater, people can unlock the cabinet according to the instructions, take buoys, lifelines and throw them at the victim for support. At the same time, people can contact the listed emergency phone number to mobilize functional forces to the scene.
In Hai Duong ward, the lifeline is located in the area at the beginning of the new Phu Luong bridge and the beginning of the railway bridge (old Phu Luong bridge). These are locations with vehicles and people regularly passing by and located near the river area.
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Captain Vu Phi Long - Deputy Commander of Hai Duong Ward Military Command - said that the installation of life-saving points is not simply arranging more rescue equipment but also creating proactive plans on the spot when unexpected situations occur on the river.
According to Captain Vu Phi Long, in case of discovering an injured person, people or functional forces can quickly approach and use equipment equipped at the life-saving point to assist.
The first minutes in a drowning situation are very important, so having life jackets, buoys, and lifelines available in the bridge area will help rescue operations be deployed faster.
We determine that the installation is only the first step. The ward will regularly inspect and ensure that the equipment is always in the correct position, in a usable condition; and at the same time propagate to people to know the location of the lifeline, how to use it and have a sense of preservation" - Captain Vu Phi Long said.
Mobilizing on-site vehicles to rescue people
Not only Hai Duong ward, but also in Le Thanh Nghi ward, the Ward Civil Defense Command has organized the installation of life-saving equipment at the foot of Phu Tao bridge. Arranging equipment right in the bridge area contributes to raising people's awareness in ensuring safety when traveling and living along the river.
At the lifeline, people are instructed to contact the phone number on the cabinet to receive the unlock code when an emergency occurs and use the equipment inside. The units also recommend that people be conscious of preserving life jackets and life buoys to always be ready to use when necessary.
In Tran Phu commune, the Commune Civil Defense Command has deployed the installation of a life-saving point in the Binh bridge area in the area, implementing the direction of the City Civil Defense Command on installing equipment to ensure safety at bridges across the river.
The life-saving point at Binh bridge is arranged with 6 life jackets, 6 round buoys, 3 rolls of ropes, each roll 50m long, and many other life-saving items.
The life-saving point has a clear identification sign "Tran Phu Commune Civil Defense Command Life-saving Point", along with instructions for use so that people can recognize and operate when an incident occurs.
The deployment of life-saving points in many localities shows that prevention and response plans are placed right in areas at risk of incidents on rivers.
Instead of just relying on professional forces, on-site equipment creates more opportunities for people and functional forces near the scene to take advantage of time to support victims.
