together adopted a mechanism for coordination in maintaining social order and
security in the district. The forces also built a plan on conducting joint combat
drills combined with forest fire fighting across the district’s communes and
towns.

activities in the province and shared experience in forest management.

corridor in high-risk areas. Local people have been also urged to keep fire
fighting equipment in their homes.
