Fire Drill

Today we practiced fire drill. The bell rang for about 4 minutes. All teachers and students rushed to the assembly area. Time was measured in order to determine whether it was reasonable or not. Attendance were recorded to ensure that everybody was present. Then, there was a speech by an officer from Tumpat fire station. He gave some tips about safety - make sure keys are placed where everybody in the house knows the location; during blackouts, use candles safely by putting it on metals, not plastic; memorize the emergency contact number to the nearest fire station; and in case of fire, state the exact place to the operator so that the firemen will arrive in time. After the speech, several students and teachers practiced using the fire extinguisher.









Basically, there are several steps to be taken during a fire drill.

1. Sound the fire alarm
2. Shout 'FIRE! FIRE! FIRE'
3. Rescue team carry their duty
4. Rush to the assembly area
5. Conduct headcount

Here is contact numbers for all the fire stations in Kelantan.
