Nineteen staff and officers from Baiduri Bank participated in a three-day fire marshal course held at the Fire and Rescue Department (FRD) Headquarters from May 22 to 24.
The course was facilitated by the Public Relations Division of FRD Headquarters and Operation ‘A’ Branch. The participants learnt the importance of fire safety such as the causes of fire, understanding the action needed in the event of a fire breakout, with a systematic evacuation exercise, as well as learning the correct way of using a fire extinguisher and fire blanket and what to do when trapped in a building during a fire.
Participants also learnt the importance of fire safety through theory and practical sessions as well as an in-house fire drill training.
