The Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services (TNFRS) Department is holding a ’Fire Safety Week’ between April 14th and 20th. This is to spread awareness among factory workers, hutment dwellers, residents and students. ‘Mock drills, demonstrations and rallies are being held across the city… We are distributing pamphlets at bus stands, schools, factories and hutment areas offering safety tips on ‘dos and don’ts. LPG cylinders and AC units pose fire risks’, said Station Fire Officer (Sembium) D Prudentius.
The fire fighters are adopted a slogan ‘Neruppu yendrum nerupputhan. Nanban alladhu pagaivan – ungal mudivu’ (Fire is Fire. Friend or Foe – We Decide).
