Journal of Fire Online

To commemorate the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930 - February 3, 2026), the Journal of Fire respectfully presents the article by General Secretary Tô Lâm entitled “Steadfast Under the Party’s Flag.”

On the morning of January 21, 2026, General Luong Tam Quang - Member of the Politburo, Secretary of the Central Party Committee of the Public Security Ministry, and Minister of Public Security - delivered a presentation at the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam on the topic "The Role of the People’s Public Security Forces in Realizing the Party’s Three Strategic Objectives: Peace and Stability; Sustainable and High-Quality Development; and the Comprehensive Enhancement of People’s Living Standards." The following is the full text of the Minister's paper.

According to Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW dated August 22, 2025, of the Politburo on breakthroughs in education and training development (hereinafter referred to as Resolution 71), "higher education is the core of developing high-level human resources and talents, promoting science and technology and innovation." As the only university in the country training high-quality human resources for the Fire Prevention and Rescue Force, the Fire Prevention and Rescue University has proactively pioneered the implementation of Resolution 71, aiming to become a national standard higher education institution, a research and innovation center of the People's Public Security Force as well as the whole country. In particular, reforming examination, accreditation, and quality assurance in training is one of the important factors for the university to realize that goal.

Recently, Gia Lai Province has been severely impacted by typhoons and flooding. This article focuses on analyzing the outcomes achieved, the lessons learned, and the recommendations proposed to further promote the proactive, people-serving spirit of the Fire and Rescue Police Force of the Gia Lai Provincial Police.

Based on examination and assessment of forest fire situations and the implementation of forest fire prevention and suppression, this article focuses on analyzing the causes and proposing some strategic solutions to enhance the accountability of forest management boards and owners in forest fire prevention and suppression in Quang Tri province.

This article examines the concept of "facilities subject to fire prevention and fighting management" in Vietnamese law. It analyzes the legal nature of these facilities, compares them with the approaches in fire prevention and fighting laws of some developed countries, and proposes guidelines to improve Vietnam’s current legal framework for fire prevention and fighting.

The Personal Data Protection Law will take effect from January 1, 2026. The article presents an overview and some highlights of the 2025 Personal Data Protection Law, including the scope of application; prohibited acts related to personal data; legitimate circumstances in which personal data may be processed without consent; and the protection of personal data in special cases....

In the context of current educational reforms, competency-based assessment methods have become a crucial factor in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning. This article assesses the current state of competency-based assessment in law courses at the University of Fire Prevention and Fighting, identifies existing limitations, and proposes solutions to improve its implementation.

Training and professional development in fire and rescue (F&R) constitute an important task in preventing and responding to fires, explosions, accidents, and emergency incidents. This article provides an overview of relevant legal regulations and, based on this, proposes several solutions to enhance the effectiveness of training and professional development activities in F&R over the coming period.

In the context of national digital transformation and the increasing demands for training quality within the People’s Public Security forces, strengthening the application of information technology in teaching political theory at the University of Fire Prevention and Fighting has become an inevitable requirement. This article analyzes the theoretical foundations, current situation, advantages, and challenges in applying information technology to political theory teaching at the university. On that basis, it proposes several solutions to enhance the effectiveness of information technology applications, contributing to the innovation of teaching methods, promoting learners’ proactiveness and creativity, and thereby improving the quality of human resource training to meet task requirements in the new context.

This study presents the development and validation of a computational chemistry model for predicting the Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of polymers and organic matrix materials containing flame-retardant additives. The approach integrates quantum chemical calculations (DFT), molecular descriptor mining, and machine learning algorithms (GA‑MLR, SVR, Random Forest, and deep neural networks) within a QSPR framework. The DFT‑RF model, trained on 427 LOI data sets, achieved a Q²_ext of 0.83 and an RMSE of 1.7 vol% O₂, outperforming traditional linear regression methods. SHAP analysis identified key descriptors—including the HOMO–LUMO gap, chemical hardness, and dipole moment—as dominant factors influencing char formation and condensed-phase activity of phosphorus–nitrogen additives. This method reduces experimental costs by approximately 70% and can be extended to the design of halogen-free flame retardant additives.

This paper presents the findings of a study aimed at addressing challenges of teaching and learning Mathematics at the University of Fire Prevention and Fighting (UFPF) through the design and development of an integrated instructional toolkit incorporating information technology. The study successfully developed a system of specialized solutions using appropriate software for each core course: dynamic simulation models in GeoGebra were created to visualize abstract concepts in Calculus; virtual experiments were designed to illustrate random phenomena and support students’ comprehension of probability concepts through statistical exploration; and tools on the Microsoft Excel platform were developed to automate the step-by-step presentation of detailed automatic solutions for complex Statistics problems. The research outcome is a unified teaching toolkit that not only supports instructors in innovating their teaching methods but also enables students to access knowledge in an active, visual, and effective manner, thereby contributing to the overall of educational quality at the university.
