On November 16, the Institute of Intelligent Complex Systems conducted a fire drill and safety training session in the A110 conference room of the Computing Center. During this session, teachers and students from the institute were educated on fire safety procedures and how to respond in emergency situations.
The training was led by the Security Department of Fudan University, who provided essential information on fire safety. They highlighted potential fire hazards, such as the risk of fires starting from unextinguished cigarette ends, the dangers of charging electronic devices near fully-inserted cable trays, and the possibility of electrical equipment causing spontaneous combustion if energized for extended periods. The training staff also emphasized safety precautions, including strictly following microwave oven instructions, ensuring clear fire escape routes, and evacuating calmly upon hearing the alarm bell.
Following the theoretical instruction, the training staff demonstrated the proper use of fire extinguishers using electronic simulation equipment. Teachers and students then participated in a simulated fire extinguishing exercise, following the lifting, pulling, holding, and pressing operation process with electronic fire extinguishers. This hands-on experience allowed everyone to learn how to use a fire extinguisher effectively and how to remain composed during an emergency evacuation.
Overall, this fire drill and safety training significantly enhanced the fire safety knowledge and preparedness of both teachers and students at the institute.
