On the afternoon of March 26, Chongyang Wenchang Printing Co., Ltd. successfully conducted a rigorous yet well-organized comprehensive fire‑extinguishing and emergency‑evacuation drill. The exercise aimed to further enhance employees’ awareness of fire safety, deepen their understanding of fire‑safety principles, and improve their practical skills in the proper use of firefighting equipment, thereby strengthening their ability to respond to fire incidents, preventing and reducing the occurrence of fires, and fostering a safe and secure working environment on campus.

To ensure the smooth execution of this fire safety drill, the Administration Department has developed a detailed evacuation plan, established a fire‑drill command center, and made clear arrangements for equipment preparation, as well as designated evacuation routes for each floor of the production building and appointed responsible personnel for every level. Prior to the drill, a “Fire Safety Awareness” informational handout was distributed to all employees, and they were shown an educational video on fire safety, with instruction on escape procedures and key precautions in the event of a disaster. Employees were also briefed on self‑rescue techniques and proper evacuation methods, and encouraged to remain calm, composed, and unafraid in emergency situations.

This drill received full support from the Chongyang Branch of Hubei Lianqi Construction Co., Ltd. All employees of Wenchang Printing participated, and General Manager and Chief Drill Commander Zhang Yahui, along with fire safety expert Teacher Xu Jun from the Chongyang Branch of Hubei Lianqi Construction Co., Ltd., were on-site to provide guidance and observe the entire exercise.

The drill began at 4:00 p.m. First, Chief Commander Zhang Yahui and Teacher Xu emphasized to all employees the importance and necessity of workplace safety.

Subsequently, Teacher Xu explained the emergency response plan for fire scenes, the operating principles of foam and dry‑powder fire extinguishers, and the relevant precautions, and then personally demonstrated how to use them. After attentive listening and observation, company leaders and employees took part in a hands‑on firefighting exercise. Faced with a blazing fire, they remained remarkably composed, skillfully following the established procedures and techniques to swiftly bring under control the thick smoke and intense flames ignited by gasoline‑soaked wood. Their performance exemplified calm, decisive handling of an unexpected emergency and met the rigorous standards of rapid, effective fire suppression.

Next, Teacher Xu demonstrated to the employees the proper procedure for using a fire hose: connecting the hose to the fire hydrant and securely tightening the hydrant’s threaded coupling. Once the valve was opened, the powerful water pressure instantly extinguished the blaze.

Finally, all company employees proceeded to their respective floors in the factory according to the drill plan, simulating a safe and orderly evacuation from the emergency exit to the ground floor outdoors. Employees were instructed to cover their mouth and nose with a wet towel, evacuate while bending low, and pay close attention to safety at stairwell entrances to prevent stampedes; the entire exercise unfolded in an orderly manner.

The successful completion of this fire‑drill exercise was unanimously praised as highly meaningful and essential. On the one hand, it heightened participants’ fire‑safety awareness and deepened their understanding of how to safeguard their own safety. On the other hand, hands‑on practice enhanced individual capabilities in responding to fire emergencies, providing an additional layer of protection against unforeseen, sudden disasters.
