FIRE MOCK DRILL
Children are very vulnerable for any smallest of disasters. Their safety and protection in the school campus is our utmost priority. To ensure safety of students, teachers and staff during any fire emergency in school and to know more about reducing the impact of fire during an accident, mock fire drill was conducted in Amrita Vidyalayam on 15th September, 2023.
The session was all about understanding the basic nature of fire and causes of its breakout, and how we can protect ourselves under such circumstances. The importance of fire safety was highlighted by citing real life examples; use of firefighting gadgets like fire extinguishers was demonstrated by the team of fire officers from Vashi Fire station to help students understand and act on time during a fire breakout situation.
Real life training was also provided i.e. few students/staff were made to use the fire extinguishers to help them practically understand how they work and operate. Around 15 teachers/staff and 150 students of class 9, members of students council participated in the mock drill.
The team of officials who visited the campus laid emphasis on precautions every school must follow to ensure that each individual in the campus is safe and sound.
