As the new semester gets under way, the Huaihua Municipal Fire and Rescue Bureau has stepped up campus fire safety education to enhance students’ fire safety awareness and their ability to protect themselves and escape in the event of a fire. In recent days, the bureau has seized on the key window of freshmen’s military training, bringing fire safety classes directly to the training grounds through a mix of formats — live drills, themed lectures and cloud livestreaming — so as to build an all-around outreach framework that combines hands-on training on the ground with online education in the cloud.
On August 24, as the alarm rang out, freshmen of Huaihua No. 3 Middle School in military training evacuated quickly along the designated routes to the safe assembly point in the outdoor playground, following proper escape procedures. After the drill, publicity officers, citing campus fire cases, gave detailed explanations on the key points of reporting a fire and daily fire prevention precautions, focusing on common on-campus hazards such as unauthorized use of electrical appliances in dormitories, the accumulation of clutter and overloaded power outlets. They also guided students hands-on in operating fire extinguishers and trying on firefighting protective suits, ensuring that students truly “understood, mastered and could put into practice” what they had learned.
On August 27, publicity officers visited Junyong Experimental School in Huaihua to give a special lecture on fire safety to all freshmen in military training. Grounded in real campus life, the officers elaborated, through case-based explanation and warning, on key topics including campus fire prevention, self-inspection of hidden dangers and emergency escape, gave detailed answers to students’ questions about fire safety in their daily lives, and encouraged students to firmly uphold the principle of “safety first and prevention foremost” and stay vigilant at all times.
The entire series of fire safety activities were livestreamed simultaneously on the Douyin account of Huaihua Fire and Rescue, with cameras recording the whole process in real time — from the emergency evacuation drill and themed on-site lectures to interactive Q&A among trainers, teachers and students. By breaking through the limits of on-site outreach, the livestream enabled netizens to learn fire safety knowledge without leaving their homes, effectively broadening the coverage and enhancing the influence of campus fire safety education.
