Students agape as their teacher lifted with rope, pulley

The students of P.P.N.M.A. Upper Primary School at Tirur will never forget their Ambili teacher in life. She gave them one of the biggest life lessons on Wednesday by playing an active role during an accident management training session conducted by Fire and Rescue Services personnel.

When Ambili was lifted by the Fire and Rescue Services personnel using a rope and pulley, her students were agape. She volunteered to show her children how a person fallen in a well could be raised with the help of a rope and pulley.

Fire and Rescue Station Officer at Tirur K.M. Pramod Kumar encouraged the children to take lessons from everything they see. However, he exhorted them to begin their daily routine with a prayer that no accident befalls on anyone.

Mr. Pramod and team offered basic training in the management of various accidents, including fire, drowning, and choking. “Be careful when you step into unfamiliar waters,” he warned the children. Most accidents, according to Mr. Pramod, are caused by someone’s carelessness or negligence.

The students watched in dismay as Mr. Pramod and team displayed how to handle a person choking from food stuck in the throat. The team also showed the ways of rescuing people stuck in difficult places.

There was an extra degree of enthusiasm among the children as they were exposed to an offline training session for the first time in two years.

Assistant station officer P. Sunil Kumar, senior fire and rescue officers Ramesh Babu and Jacob, fire and rescue officers Satish Kumar, Prajit, Akhil, Ramesh, Abhilash and Jibin took part in the training.
