The Red Sea Governorate has carried out an evacuation drill at Hurghada's industrial secondary school for boys, simulating a fire inside the building to test how quickly the school and emergency services respond.
According to the governorate's account, the fire alarm was sounded and students, teachers and school staff left the building under safety rules. Classrooms and buildings were checked and everyone was directed to designated assembly points. The scenario also covered treating casualties and giving first aid.
The exercise was run with the Red Sea education directorate and the control centre of the national emergency and public safety network, with civil defence, the ambulance service, the Red Crescent and security services taking part.
