A new working group was established in August to help standardise fire safety mechanisms to protect people and property according to AZISAFE Cambodia Managing Director Paul Hurford.

Bringing together all government departments involved in emergency response mechanisms and experienced private sector players, the Emergency/Fire Response Working Group will conduct mutual training exercises for its members and try to standardise training and communication procedures throughout the country, he said.

This new initiative is part of a longer term strategy where not only are international standards of fire safety fully integrated into new building designs, but emergency responders also have the appropriate equipment and training to effectively deal with fires.
