Besides an enacted fire management plan, the fire risk assessment includes identification of fire hazards, the persons at risk from fire and ways in which to minimize such risks.

This included a fire safety session aimed at educating the participants on the importance of fire safety, guiding them on simple and easy-to-remember techniques to escape and save their lives, and others, from possible fire tragedies.
Participants were taught the characteristics of fire, how to use fire extinguishers, how to escape from a burning building and more. Attendees also had a glimpse into the life of a fire-fighter as part of their training involved typical BOMBA exercises, including activities such as running while carrying fire hoses, and assembling lengthy fire hoses in teams.
- Participants learnt the proper way of carrying a fire hose during the BOMBA styled morning exercise.

Emergency response teams and individuals were put to a test when they were made to safely remove “injured” persons to designated emergency assembly points using items such as stretches, fire hoses and hydrants.
