Fire Safety Education: Grade 1 Students' Adventure at Makassar City Fire and Disaster Management Service

Introduction:

On Tuesday, 21 February 2024, the Grade 1 students of Sekolah Lentera Kasih Makassar embarked on an educational journey to the Makassar City Fire and Disaster Management Service (Dinas Pemadam Kebakaran Dan Penanggulangan Bencana Kota Makassar). This field trip provided an invaluable opportunity for our young learners to deepen their understanding of fire safety and disaster management in a real-world setting.

Activities:

During their visit, our students engaged in a series of enriching activities aimed at educating them about the dangers of fires and the tools used by firefighters to combat them. They received informative sessions on fire safety, learning about fire hazards and preventive measures to keep themselves and their families safe.

One highlight of the trip was the opportunity to explore the fire station and interact with the firefighters. Our students had the chance to see firsthand the equipment used by firefighters, including fire extinguishers, hoses, and protective gear. They were also given a guided tour of the fire trucks, where they learned about the different features and functions of these essential vehicles.

Another exciting activity was the "Rain Shower" experience, where our students participated in a simulation of extinguishing a fire using water from a fire hose. This hands-on activity not only provided a fun and memorable experience but also reinforced the importance of quick and effective action in the event of a fire emergency.

As part of Sekolah Lentera Kasih Makassar's commitment to providing holistic education, this field trip aimed to instill essential life skills and knowledge in our students, ensuring their safety and well-being both inside and outside the classroom.
