The exercise also includes the evacuation procedures, housekeeping, fire extinguishers and electrical fire safety through both theory and practical illustrations.
In Asamankese, firefighters delivered fire safety education at the Church of Pentecost, James McKeown Revival Centre, focusing on first aid, housekeeping, LPG and electrical fires, and proper use of extinguishers, supported by hands-on practical sessions.
