Coimbatore: As the northeast monsoon begins in Tamil Nadu, the state government has ordered all districts to implement precautionary and preventive measures. In line with this directive, the Tiruppur district Fire and Rescue Services department conducted a monsoon disaster preparedness mock drill at the Collector's office on Monday morning.

The fire personnel showcased how to use common household items like plastic pots and bottles as flotation devices during flood situations. They also explained and demonstrated proper methods for rescuing drowning victims and advised the public on how to respond during emergencies.

The mock drill focused on practical survival skills and emergency response techniques, emphasizing the importance of preparedness during the monsoon season. The firefighters' demonstrations aimed to educate the public on self-rescue and assisting others during flood-related incidents.

Assistant Fire Officers Ilanchezhiyan and Veeraraj, along with Station Officer Mohan and several others, participated in this informative and potentially life-saving event. The drill served as a crucial step in enhancing the district's readiness for potential monsoon-related emergencies.
