Cambodian government focuses on fire safety
The Cambodian government is beginning to focus on fire security and intervention systems in skyscrapers, which are on the increase in Phnom Penh. Lieutenant Colonel Neth Vutha, chief of the Fire Station of the Phnom Penh Police Department, said the General Commissariat of the National Police was recruiting staff to be trained in putting out fires in tall buildings in Cambodia, as currently there was only one fire truck in the entire fire department that could spray water into an 11-storey building. … Dith Channa, general director of the VMC real-estate company, said that if skyscrapers do not have security systems and techniques for putting out fires, “they will face high risks.” Owners of skyscrapers should pay attention to this issue if they have not done so yet, he said. …
