The National Fire Prevention Day falls on November 9th. In order to call all the apartment owners’ attention to the work of fire prevention, all the staff of Jia Yuan Property Management Company were taking action and conducting a session of fire-fighting drill.  

In the afternoon of that day, both the maintenance workers and the cleaners, who worked in the neighbourhood of Dong Fang Di Jing, were uniformly in their work suits, full of energy, and ready to participate in a wonderful fire-fighting drill. At 16 o’clock, all of our staff stood in queue in front of the No.18 building. Everyone was standing in an orderly queue, which attracted the attention of many apartment owners. As the trainer set fire to the materials in the brazier, our team members worked in pair, went ahead in an orderly manner, threw the fire-fighting hoses and received the water pistols. With a serious of quick movements, they managed to extinguish the fire instantly. When it was my turn, I read silently the pithy formula for the use of fire extinguisher: “The first step is to observe the fire, the second step is to shake the fire extinguisher, the third step is to pull the nozzle, and the fourth step is to spray the fire-extinguishing chemicals ”. Holding the fire extinguisher, I pointed the fire extinguisher at the burning point, pressed its nozzle, and extinguished the fire in an instant. With the fire extinguished, my nervous heart was pacified in an instant. 

The scene of a fire is like the scene of a battle, where the dangers are likely to change at every moment. Only by enhancing our training can we cope with the fire calmly. As practitioners of property management, we should also remember firmly the guiding principle of 18 Chinese words, which state that “The hidden hazard is more dangerous than the glowing fire; To prevent fire is more important than to fight the fire; The responsibility is heavier than the mountain of Tai.” We should cling to our duties and make our efforts to safeguard our beautiful homeland in Dong Fang Di Jing.
