In a proactive initiative to promote fire safety awareness and education, the Guirim Free Legal Aid Cell, in collaboration with the Fire and Emergency Services Department, organized a comprehensive fire safety program for the students and staff of PM Shri Government High School, Namoshi Guirim.
Jochele Correia, a student of VM Salgaocar College of Law and member of the Guirim Free Legal Aid Cell, conducted a legal literacy session, educating students about the Right to Education Act 2009, which emphasizes the importance of safety in schools, including disaster management. This was followed by a practical demonstration on the use of fire extinguishers, led by the Mapusa fire personnel team.
The program provided 102 students, as well as teaching and non-teaching staff members, with hands-on experience in using fire extinguishers. By empowering individuals with knowledge of fire safety equipment, the program aimed to promote clarity of mind and prompt response in fire emergency situations.
Recognizing that panic often sets in during fire emergencies, the program sought to provide participants with the confidence and skills to respond effectively. By educating individuals on how to use fire safety equipment, the program aimed to not only protect themselves but also provide crucial aid to the fire department until they arrive.
The Guirim Free Legal Aid Cell’s initiative demonstrates the importance of collaboration and community engagement in promoting safety and well-being. By working together with local authorities and schools, the organization aims to create a safer and more resilient community.
The fire safety program organized by the Guirim Free Legal Aid Cell is a shining example of proactive community engagement and education. By empowering individuals with knowledge and skills, the program promotes a culture of safety and responsibility, ultimately contributing to a safer and more resilient community.
