Mock Drills and Evacuation

Workshops (mock drills) related to fire safety are organized by government/non-government organizations, schools, colleges, shopping malls, five-star hotels, and industrial areas. During these mock drills, participants are trained and guided on how to use fire-fighting equipment and what precautions to take in case of an emergency.

During the mock drill, the following training is provided:

• Measures to be taken after a fire breaks out.
• Preventive measures while the fire extinguishing process is ongoing.
• Evacuation from a burning building.
• Assisting victims.
• Using soil, mud, water, and wet cloths to control the fire.
• Participants are trained on how to protect themselves from fire, contact the nearest hospital for medical treatment, and properly use fire-fighting equipment.
• The public generally responds positively to these workshops. After the mock drill, any doubts or questions from citizens are addressed.
