Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>During the training, participants were trained on how to use the fire extinguishers and skills needed to counter fire outbreak. Taking participants on some fire safety tips, Momodou Camara from National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA), said it\u2019s important for institutions and even house occupants to be trained on how to use fire extinguisher to safeguard themselves, homes and their offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cMajority of fire outbreaks could have been avoided only if we had known how important the fire extinguishers are and also to have a trained person that knows how to use it. It\u2019s essential for every institution to train its staff or pupils on how and when to use the fire extinguisher.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

For his part, Omar Cham, Accountant at MAJaC underscored the need for people and institutions to be trained on fire safety measures. \u201cThis is an institution that comprises of people, computers, studios and so many electronic devices. So it is necessary to put precautions and let us know how to take those precautionary measures so we can prevent ourselves and the school in time of fire outbreaks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alimatou S. Bajinka, a student at MAJaC and a participant, disclosed that prior to the training, she thought fire extinguishers attached to the walls in many institutions are merely meant for wall decorations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now I realize these are lifesaving devices and am glad that I learned how to use it. Now I can safeguard myself and my surrounding\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n
