Currently, many types of fire-fighting equipment are sold on the market, especially on social media platforms, primarily fire extinguishers and gas masks, with varying prices and quality that not everyone can easily assess. Furthermore, localities are implementing a nationwide fire prevention and fighting campaign, aiming for each household to have at least one fire extinguisher. As a result, many households have purchased and equipped themselves with fire extinguishers through intermediaries. However, a significant number of fire extinguishers on the market do not meet the required fire-fighting quality standards. In response to this situation, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department, in coordination with market management forces, has intensified inspections of businesses selling fire prevention and fighting equipment.

Fire and rescue police, in coordination with other forces, regularly inspect facilities that supply fire safety equipment.
