Yesterday I participate in the annual fire and earthquake drill at CMU. The presentation and instructions were in Thai but I was able to decipher some of the things that they were saying based on the animations being played on a projector. I really liked the way they presented the instructions. The presentation was disciplined yet humorous . The presentation had animations on what not to do during an emergency, for example it showed an animation of a man on fire who was running around setting everything else on fire. After the presentation the drill proceeded with instructions on how to extinguish a gas fire. Since the gas for the Bunsen burners here is provided by an exposed tank, the firemen took a gas tank, opened the gas and lighted the gas coming out of the tank. They showed how to properly use a fire extinguisher as well as water and your fingers to extinguish the fire. It was a good learning experience. I think the best part was when the building was evacuated, since the dogs that live in each floor ran out as well.
