12/13/2018

While the number of school fires has decreased over recent years, they continue to be a serious risk for schools. Every year around one in twenty schools experiences a fire and nearly hour of faculty fires are started deliberately.

The short effects of loss of facilities and instrumentation may be calculated, however the longer-term effects of loss of work, disruption of categories and lowering of morale square measure a lot of more durable to quantify.

Develop a fire emergency plan for the school and ensure that everyone knows it.
Always keep escape/ evacuation routes clear of any blockades.
Keep flammables like kerosene, gas cylinder etc. out of the reach of children.
Always follow the building by-laws to keep your school safe and secure.
Keep storage and working areas free from trash.
Ensure old wiring is maintained and broken electrical fittings repaired by an electrician.
The cafeteria staff should be extra cautious while working in the kitchen.
Keep fire extinguishers in working condition and learn how to operate them.
Practice moving through your escape routes with eyes closed during normal times.
Always maintain a First Aid kit and keep it ready for any emergency. Keep the boxes at easily accessible locations.
