Fire safety workshops for students on emergency evacuation

For the first time, the Mumbai Fire Brigade and the Fire and Security Association of India (FSAI) have included the concept of emergency evacuation in the Dare to Care safety workshops they conduct at schools.

Emergency evacuation was undertaken at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower during the 26/11 attacks. Around 1 lakh students in 30 schools will take part in this workshop.

Shalini Choudhary, chief executive officer of FSAI, said, "After 26/11, we felt this was an important concept for school faculty to know. In today's scenario, schools are soft targets."
