At 8:17 a.m. on March 25th, a fire bell rang all of a sudden on the SHSID Pudong campus. The hallway was filled with smoke immediately. Having the morning read-aloud class in their homeroom, the teachers and students from 1st to 5th grade didn’t know what happened, but they responded quickly: using fire safety knowledge, the teachers calmly evacuate the students; they all covered their mouths and noses when leaving the classrooms. Following the escape directions on the doors, teachers and students evacuated the building in an orderly manner and assembled at the school gate.

It only took 1 minute and 54 seconds for all the teachers and students to escape from the danger zone with no injuries. We don’t expect a real fire to break out on campus, but we will do our best to prepare for an emergency and keep students safe.
