On December 7, 2010, our students got a thrilling experience of Fire Extinguishing Exercise. From Bodakdev Fire station, a team of fire brigade visited the school with all their equipments including the fire extinguishing van.
The session was initiated by Chief Fire Officer Mr. Mistry, who informed students about the different sources which lead to fire alongwith the types of fire extinguishers. He informed that the fire extinguishers were classified as class A- B – C and discussed the role of colour codes on fire extinguisher in brief. The demonstration of rescue operations during the time of flood, cyclones and other calamities by the fire brigade was the highlight of the session.
This involved t he use of equipments to cut a thick iron rod, to stop the supply of any liquid or gas from the pipes and to push or pull a weight by using machines which have a capacity to hold the weight of 10 tones.
The team members demonstrated how to evacuate tall buildings during rescue mission. For the students the fire men were like super heroes climbing up and down on the building with ease. They cautioned the students not to try this exercise at home as it requires intensive training.
The use of dry chemical powder for CO2 fire extinguishers and precautions to be observed were also demonstrated. Students also enjoyed the hands on experience of working of these extinguishers.
We are indeed thankful to the Bodakdev Fire Station team for making us aware of the role of the public agencies in making our lives safer. This whole exercise was really an eye opener exercise for the students.
