HUTB Organizes and Conducts 2024 Fire Emergency Drill for Faculty and Staff

2024-03-29

On the afternoon of March 26, the university organized the 2024 Fire Emergency Drill for Faculty and Staff at the Feiyue Track and Field in the South Campus.

The drill included three parts: "Smoke Tent Escape Experience", "Firefighting Practice", and "Fire Safety Knowledge Quiz". During the "Smoke Tent Escape Experience", participants bent down, covered their mouths and noses with wet tissues, and sequentially entered the unfamiliar, pitch-black, smoke-filled tent, experiencing the real situation of a fire. Finally, they successfully "escaped" from the exit. During the "Firefighting Practice", participants held fire extinguishers, standing 2 meters away from the oil pan. They rocked the fire extinguisher up and down, pulled out the safety pin, gripped the nozzle with one hand, and pressed the handle down with the other hand, aiming at the base of the flames to extinguish the fire. During the "Fire Safety Knowledge Quiz", participants confidently answered every randomly selected question with their solid foundation of fire safety knowledge. Faced with the choking darkness and raging fire, the faculty and staff remained calm and composed, displaying their proficiency in handling the situation. This fully showcased the outstanding effectiveness of the university's regular fire safety education and emergency drills.

The purpose of this fire emergency drill is to earnestly implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, as well as the decisions and arrangements of the Office of the Work Safety Commission under the State Council, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Emergency Management, the National Fire and Rescue Administration, and the CPC Hunan Provincial Committee, and the People’s Government of Hunan Province. It also aims to adhere to the principle of coordinated development and safety, strengthen the firefighting work policy of "prevention first, and combine prevention with elimination", enhance the fire safety awareness and emergency response capabilities of our faculty and staff, firmly prevent and control various campus safety accidents, comprehensively establish a campus safety prevention system, and promote the construction of a safe campus with high quality.
