Today, Grade 9 students of Richard Ishmael Secondary School visited the Guyana Fire Service Headquarters for an interactive fire safety and prevention session as part of their Crop Production and Management syllabus.

The educational visit provided students with valuable knowledge and practical experience in fire safety, particularly in the prevention and management of field fires.

Ranks from the Fire Prevention Department facilitated the session, educating students on fire prevention measures and demonstrating the proper use of fire extinguishers in the event of a fire emergency.

The students also had the exciting opportunity to experience a ride in a fire truck, adding a memorable element to their educational visit.

The Guyana Fire Service was pleased to accommodate the students and teachers, reaffirming its commitment to educating young minds and promoting a culture of fire safety and prevention.
