SULAYMANIYAH, January 25 — Dukan’s civil defense station organized a fire awareness and prevention seminar for students at a local technical institute on Wednesday.

Dean of the Dukan Technical Institute Hemn Abdullah emphasized the significance of raising awareness among students and department monitors. He said the objective of the seminar was to mitigate panic during unexpected fires and empower individuals to effectively manage such situations.

With four residence buildings housing 100 students and 12 supervisors, Abdullah highlighted the institute’s commitment to addressing deficiencies through regular inspections. The institute’s prevention committee actively works to eliminate potential risks, conducting thorough assessments three times a year, Abdullah shared.
