Fire Safety Awareness Training Day 3 - 15/04/09

3rd day of the Fire Safety Awareness Training. We started off with the morning runs then we played a game called, "Si Buta Dari Gua Hantu". In groups, we were blindfolded and asked to move around feeling with the back of our hands and feet. We were crawling, and had to put aside obstacles, holes and a makeshift tunnel.

Then we went to the classroom and was refreshed on how to evacuate building and rescuing during a fire.

In the afternoon, we enter the smoke house. No simulation of fire and smoke but it was pitch dark and hot. It was like being in a sauna *after more than an hour, my shirt was soaked* and it was really dark, I can't even see my hands even when I put it in front of my eyes. So I was shooting blindly. The participants had to find their way out, using the techniques learnt from the blindfold drill in the morning.

Then we proceeded to the Fire evacuation and rescue drill. We were seperated into 2 groups and each floor has their own fire marshalls.

Then it was the Fire Extinguisher exercise. To know which fire extinguisher to use on which type of fire.

Powder type fire extinguisher to use on fire caused by oil

H2O/Water type fire extinguisher for fire on wood

CO2/Carbon Dioxide can also be used on fire caused by oil

At the end of the day we ended our training and it's time to say goodbye. So we gathered and had our group photo taken. It was tiring but it was really fun. I kinda miss running in the morning. lol...

So on the 23rd of April, our batch and the 1st batch before us were called to RBRC to receive our fire safety certificate. Everybody gathered with the fire & rescue personnels and talked about our experiences, especially the funny ones... it was fun. We should do it again. ;)
