Firefighters serve everyone, but not many people know much about them beyond what they’ve learned from movies and TV. Firefighters are the first responders to reach the scenes of explosions, wildfires, and other catastrophes.

Thanks to their great efforts and bravery, firefighters extinguish unexpected fires to protect lives and property of residents.

Below are some images captured by photographer Kim Lien, showing local firefighters in a fire drill which has recently taken place in the Man Thai Market in Son Tra District.
