The Fire Station Kiphire is undertaking a proactive initiative to raise mass awareness on fire protection and life safety throughout 2025. As part of this effort, the station successfully conducted a fire and evacuation drill at a commercial building, providing valuable hands-on experience in emergency preparedness.
In addition to the drill, the fire station also provided basic firefighting training to staff and officers of the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED). The training aims to equip participants with essential skills to respond effectively in the event of a fire emergency.
The primary objectives of these initiatives are to enhance public awareness of fire safety, empower building occupants with basic firefighting skills, and promote evacuation preparedness.
The Fire Station Kiphire plans to continue conducting drills and training sessions across various premises, including residential, educational, and healthcare institutions, to help build a safer community. (Published as received, with minor edits for clarity)
