Some of the things we should do to prevent a fire at home and in school:

(i) Prevention is better than cure. We should be alert about the use of inflammable substances and handle it with care.

(ii) There is always a possibility of the outbreak of fire in an old building – whether a School or a Housing Complex – because of bared or faulty wiring. Therefore, over loaded wires should be replaced with new ones knd fuse should be checked at regular interval.

(iii) By spreading the knowledge about the handling of fuel, its flash point and about its protection sifter an accident.

(iv) Fire extinguisher should be installed and old wiring must be replaced. Keeping the contact number of the fire brigade in a ready-to-reach place is essential. Regular firedrill must be conducted in large buidlings.

(v) Never take minor cases of fire lightly as it may lead to greater one. We do not store inflammable or combustible things like kerosene or petrol in our homes and in school.
