A mock fire drill was conducted at Podar World School, Sherkhi, to ensure that students and staff are well-prepared to respond effectively in the event of a fire emergency.
As soon as the emergency alarm was sounded, all students and staff members followed the evacuation procedures in a calm and disciplined manner. A total of 1,020 students and 62 staff members participated in the drill, and the entire school building was evacuated safely within 4 minutes and gathered at assembly point in the playground.
After the evacuation, a fire safety awareness session was conducted by the Physical Education Educator. Students were introduced to different types of fire extinguishers and informed about their specific uses. A demonstration on the correct operation of fire extinguishers was also conducted, along with important guidance on remaining calm and following safety protocols during emergency situations.
The drill served as a valuable learning experience for both students and staff, reinforcing the importance of preparedness, quick response, and responsible conduct during emergencies. Continuous practice and awareness initiatives will be undertaken to further enhance evacuation efficiency, with a target of completing future drills within 3 minutes while maintaining the highest standards of safety and discipline.
