Fire Fighting and disaster Management training is the most meticulous training imparted to each and every body connected with school. All the students, right from Nursery to class VIII, members of the teaching as well as non-teaching staff, are well trained to fight against a sudden breakout of fire, earthquake etc. And it is conducted at least 4 times every year.
Students and members of the staff are trained to operate fire extinguishers. The mock drill sessions help them to know how to escape from an effected area. They are totally aware of the escape routes which are predesigned. If escape plan 'A' seems to be ineffective, they may use plan 'B' or 'C'. The escape routes are displayed on the lobby walls.
All the members of the staff such as educators, peon, sweepers, drivers, gardeners, security guards & administration staff, all have a role to play in such emergencies. Their roles are predefined and they follow it up to maximum efficiency to save everyone from the affected area.
The mode of evacuation is as follows :
If there is any emergency to escape, the chief fire officer gives an alarm through the school emergency alarm. This will alert all present in and around the school building. The responsible people take up their positions and start evacuating the entire school with in the most possible minimum time and the head counts of all- students and staff members-are done and then it is compared with the school attendance records. If found any doubts in the attendance while head counting, a thorough search operation is conducted for missing ones.
There are smoke detectors installed at all key points such as labs, pantry and major electrical junctions to detect any kind of smoke.
