Fire drills in primary schools are important for preparing students and staff to safely
evacuate in the event of a fire. They help students learn what to do during an emergency,
such as staying quiet, listening to instructions, and practicing good behavior. Fire drills also
help train staff on their responsibilities during an emergency.
Here are some tips for fire drills in primary schools:
- PLAN: Have a plan for fire drills and evacuation procedures.
- PRACTICE : Conduct fire drills regularly, both in surprise and informed ways.
- TEACH : Teach students what to do in the event of a fire.
- MARK EXITS : Make sure emergency exits are clearly marked with illuminated signs.
- KEEP CLEAR : Keep all exits and escape routes clear and unobstructed.
- PREPARE : Have fire extinguishers and first aid kits available on each floor.
- DESIGNATE A MEETING PLACE : Choose a specific place for students to meet after a fire
drill.
- TRAIN STAFF : Train staff on their responsibilities during an emergency.
