In autumn and winter every year, due to the dry weather and strong wind, fires are likely to occurr in the northeast region of China. Therefore, it is very important to do firefighting work in these seasons.
The leaders of Nanzhang Church in Dongfeng County of Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, see that fire prevention is very important. Fire drills are held every quarter to raise believers’ awareness of fire safety and to improve their ability to protect and escape in case of fire.
Before the drill was held in the fourth quarter of this year, Su Xin, an instructor from Jilin Ju'an Fire Station, was invited to explain fire safety to the believers. Through some examples and pictures, he explained the seriousness of fires and corrected some wrong methods of dealing with the fires. Through his explanation, the believers learned about the seriousness of fires, and how to prevent and deal with a fire. After the lecture, instructor Su also gave instructions on how to use fire extinguishers and they were able to practice. Finally, a drill was carried out according to the plan. After the drill, the believers were evacuated quickly and orderly under the guidance of the organizers.
Senior Pastor Liu Xuesong of the church said the leaders needed to pay attention to fire safety in the church and provide believers with a safe environment for worship.
In addition to regular fire drills, the church also invested funds to buy fire-fighting equipment, made a fire-fighting plan and organized a team for fire prevention.
