Takhiantia municipality in east Pattaya held a fire drill for school students, giving kids basic training in fighting small fires.
Mayor Jaran Prakobtham kicked off the Aug. 31 drill for 70 students and teachers at Weluwanaram School with firefighters from the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department.
Subdistrict Clerk Narongrit Prasitnak said densely packed neighborhoods are frequently sites of fires, so the local government has undertaken an effort to train the public, including kids, how to use fire extinguishers to fight fires and learn how to prevent them in the first place.
