Ali, Tibet- Fire safety education enters campus

On October 22, the Tibet Ali Border Management Detachment organized a fire safety awareness event at local schools to enhance students’ safety consciousness and fire prevention skills. This initiative aims to build a robust “firewall” within the campus.

During the event, Officer Tsering Danzhu engaged both students and teachers by discussing real-life cases of school fires. He provided an insightful overview of essential fire safety knowledge and specific preventive measures tailored for schools. Through clear and accessible explanations, the students learned vital skills, such as how to prevent fires, self-rescue techniques during a fire, and the proper methods for evacuation.

With a whistle blow from the officer, the evacuation drill commenced. Students quickly covered their mouths and noses, bent down, and orderly evacuated the classroom, following the designated escape route towards the playground. Each officer played their role effectively, ensuring the evacuation process ran smoothly.

The students successfully evacuated to the flag-raising square within the allocated time frame, achieving the goal of enhancing their emergency response capabilities. This practical drill underscored the significance of emergency evacuations and provided valuable insights for the school’s future emergency management efforts.

Following the drill, Officer Li Xilong combined theory with practical demonstrations to explain the types of fire extinguishers, their uses, and correct operating procedures. His live demonstration allowed students to grasp the steps involved in operating a fire extinguisher and effective firefighting techniques. Later, under the guidance of the officer, five student representatives successfully extinguished a simulated fire, following the standard operating procedures.
