A fire drill was conducted at the Kansai University Japanese Language Program for International Students on the 27^th of October.
The drill simulated a fire breaking out in the kitchen on the third floor of the dormitory, with flames bursting from the window, making initial extinguishing impossible.

Inside the dormitory, the RAs (Resident Assistants) took the lead in guiding the evacuation, while the faculty efficiently supported students' evacuation in the classroom building. From the moment the fire was reported until the roll call at the assembly point in the patio was completed, this year's drill took 10 minutes and 36 seconds. Although this was slightly longer than last year's 8 minutes, we will continue to improve our response by raising disaster awareness and promoting safe actions.

Japan is a country prone to disasters, including earthquakes. It is essential to maintain disaster awareness in daily life and to act quickly and accurately in case of an emergency.

After the drill, the RAs first learned how to use fire extinguishers, and then interested Bekka students also had the opportunity to practice under the guidance of the RAs. This drill provided a valuable opportunity for all students and staff to deepen their understanding of disaster preparedness.
