“Fire destruction is one man’s job; fire prevention is everybody’s job.”

Shalom Hills International School organized a hands on fire training session for the teaching faculty and guards with an objective to arm them with the essential knowledge and skills to respond efficiently to fire incidents and how to suitably handle and use fire extinguishers. It aimed at raising awareness about fire hazards and to thwart the potential risks within the school premises by educating staff members about common causes of fire hazards, understanding fire behavior, and the importance of early detection and reporting.

Information regarding different types of fire extinguishers and their respective uses along with the right technique to use them was imparted. The training staff gave demonstrations inviting a few teachers to themselves practice using fire extinguishers under controlled conditions. The session was absolutely informative and illuminating.
