Cambodia's inaugural Fire Rescue Command Centre was formally inaugurated on October 23 at the National Police headquarters.

Spearheaded by General Neth Vantha, the centre is designed to improve fire prevention and manage risks through early detection.

The facility will serve factories, businesses, and private residences by utilizing a newly developed fire prevention information system connected to Top Fire Safety (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. With a $3.3 million investment, the centre employs advanced technology for immediate alerts and effective fire response.

Business owners are encouraged to register for the service to receive fire safety updates directly via a smartphone app.

The service is already popular among establishments in provinces like Siem Reap and Preah Sihanouk.

The new centre underscores the importance of fire safety following 738 recorded fires in the first half of 2024, which resulted in nine deaths and over 450 destroyed homes.
