Doha: The General Directorate of Civil Defence on Tuesday organised an award ceremony for the winners of the cultural competition it organised in cooperation with the Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Interior during the holy month of Ramadan as part of the “Safe Ramadan” campaign for school students.
More than 5,000 students from 12 community schools, along with parents and school staff, participated in the event in order to raise awareness of fire safety and prevention methods.
Lt. Col. Abdullah Mohamed Al Hail, Director of Operations of the General Directorate of Civil Defence, thanked the principals, parents, and students for their active participation in the virtual awareness seminars. He underscored their role in communication between the General Directorate of Civil Defence and community schools and various relevant institutions, as these seminars included many awareness topics, including home safety procedures, fire extinguishers, and lessons on how to use them, and how to deal with fire and evacuation procedures.
