Launching the fire safety drill, Muthukumarasamy, Station Officer, Team “One of the best way to learn about the safety during fire accidents is to see it with the own eyes. People were given a hands-on learning experience about the dangers of fire. Many of us have fire extinguishers in our home and residential location without properly knowing how to use them. This fire safety and awareness program will definitely provide good experience and information in tackling fire incidents. It is always best to call the fire department in case of an emergency.”
