Lucknow,
February 2 : A 'Fire and Earthquake evacuation drill' was organized in the
premises of City Montessori School, Jopling Road Campus, to train the students
and teachers of the school to operate the fire extinguishing tools,
successfully use fire escape and evacuate the building in an orderly fashion in
the event of an earthquake. Chief Fire Officer of CMS, Shri R Ghosh
demonstrated the use of fire extinguishing equipment and evacuation technique
to the students.
The students were taught how to leave a multi-storey building
safely in case of a fire or an earthquake without causing a stampede. In the
evacuation drill conducted inside the premises, the students and teachers
successfully used all the exits and evacuated the building in just 1.30 minutes
and assembled in the school playground. The students and teachers saw the
demonstration of how to use various fire extinguishing equipment to douse fire
caused by different sources, provide first aid to the burns and take injured to
the hospital. The demonstration included extinguishing fire caused due to gas
leakage, electrical malfunctioning and various other reasons. The students were
also taught what precautions to take in the event of an earthquake.
CMS Founder, Dr Jagdish Gandhi

besides raising awareness among students about the do’s and dont’s in the event
of the fire, the drill has also trained the adults to take suitable measures in
such scenarios. Dr Gandhi further said that it is extremely important to
provide this useful information to the students so that they can save
themselves and others in case of a fire or an earthquake.
