Let's hear what students from Temasek Secondary School had to say about the programme they attended.

Asther Ting of Sec 3N said : " During the CEPP course, I learnt that we must be responsible for our own safety, especially those fires in our homes. I now know how to handle a small fire if I ever encounter one either at home or in school. I will also ensure that I can help in whatever ways I can in any fire emergency."

Koh Ming Fong of Sec 3E said : "I have leant a lot during the course; not only about the different kinds of fires, but also the different methods of putting out them. I have also learnt to differentiate among the many different kinds of fire extinguishers and learnt first-hand, how to use a fire extinguisher in a proper way. I am now better equipped to handle any situation with regards to fires."

Wong Simin of Sec 2E added : " Today’s course is very interesting as we not only learnt that having a fire extinguisher in our homes is useful, but also the proper techniques to handle one. We also learnt how to escape in case of a fire, and how to put out small fires using the appropriate means. I will definitely be more careful from now on when handling flammable stuff."
