CSU Performs PROSAFE Training and Fire Drill

Caraga State University conducted a PROSAFE Training and Fire Drill last July 19, 2011 with the help of Bureau of Fire Protection - Butuan City Fire Station.
Men from the different units, colleges, and offices of CSU participated on the drill held at the CSU Conference Room.

SFO2 Bomen T. Lofranco, SFO1 Deborah M. Lianos, and FO3 Jason Lee R. Lagnada were among the invited representatives from Butuan City Fire Station. Important topics tackled on the training included an introduction to Fire Services, Fire Behavior, Fire Scenario, Fire Safety Tips, Rescue and First Aid Return Demo, Safety Practices on LPG, Concept and Operation of Fire Extinguisher, etc.

A Practical Exercise was also conducted to test the readiness of the participants in firefighting and to assess what they learned from the training. This was done outside the Administration Building, which was by the way the most important office in the university.

The PROSAFE Training and Fire Drill was performed to educate CSU Personnel on what to do in case a fire occurs in the university. The training also evaluates whether or not the Caraga State University is equipped to have its own fire station that is not only ready to help the university in case of fire, but also its extended community like Ampayon.
