Velez College and CIM Firedrill



The students were carefully briefed along with all the different departments of Cebu Velez College. The actual Fire drill started at exactly 9am. It was interesting to see everything nicely prepared. I remembered a fire drill in my previous school where we used Firecrackers to smoke the place up (by smoke I mean fill the place up with smoke and not burn the place down). This time Velez College used a nice smelling Incense with teachers to professionally handle the chemical reactions undergoing in the process of formation of smoke ;) (sir, mam, pls don't ask me for the chemical formula :P)


It was nice to note that all the students were actually participating when the actual drill occurred. Then everyone in an organized manner exited and resumed to their positions. They even had student volunteers to handle the injured people. (Though I still find it ironic to drag injured people away from the hospital rather than towards it. Then again the place is "supposedly" burning right?)


The students along with some of the staff were able to have the opportunity to try out the fire extinguisher. Wish I was able to try that out :D Check out the awesome pics below:
Then of course who can miss the awesome Engineer look of our Dean! :P Talk about dressing for work :D


Being Filipino as we are we can't miss out the opportunity to camwhore as in ANY situation. One history teacher once said that it's only Filipinos who can smile during a state of crisis to be part of a picture they'll probably never see. Well luckily for the subjects I took, they can finally see the pictures below. Sorry for the delay in posting due to midterms and exams.
Once again I would like to forward my congratulations to Dean and everyone else who made this whole drill successful. Congratulations! *with matching outstretched arms and enthusiastic face*
