On this day of December 5, 2023, Interface Computer College held a highly anticipated event: an orientation, a fire drill, and a simulation to enhance the preparedness skills of our students. The participation of the Bureau of Fire's fire officers added significance to the occasion, as they were able to assess and provide feedback on the school's performance.
The main objective of this event was to ensure that every member of our institute is equipped and ready to handle any emergency situation that may arise. By conducting this drill, we aimed to instill a sense of urgency and awareness among our students, preparing them to react promptly and effectively in the face of unforeseen circumstances.
To make the simulation as realistic as possible, various teams were organized. These teams encompassed communication, evacuation, medical, search and rescue, security and traffic, and firefighting units. Each team showcased their dedication and training, executing their roles effectively. The students actively participated in these teams, demonstrating their commitment to safety.
The event was a testament to the collective effort of everyone involved. The coordination between teams was top-notch, enabling seamless execution. The students showed great enthusiasm, taking their roles seriously. Their commitment to safety and preparedness was evident throughout the drill.
The presence of the fire officers from the Bureau of Fire added an element of professionalism to the event. Their expertise and feedback provided valuable insights, allowing us to further enhance our emergency response procedures.
Overall, the fire drill and simulation were a resounding success. The event accomplished its primary goal of equipping our students with the necessary skills and mindset to face emergency situations. We are proud of the collective effort put forth by the school faculties and students and grateful for the support and guidance provided by the Bureau of Fire Central Office. This successful event serves as a testament to our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of every individual within our institution.
