The training programmes were organised in coordination with Ajman Civil Defence.

"We want everyone in the community to be aware of the basic fire-fighting techniques in order to help himself and his family," said Lieutenant-Colonel Abdullah Al Nuaimi, Head of Civil Protection at Ajman Civil Aviation.

He said: "People need to learn more about fire-fighting so they can be helpful before the arrival of civil defence fire-fighters. This will help diminish potential losses during fire. The trainees were given extinguishers and were taught how to use them in different kinds of situations."

He said: "The availability of hand fire extinguishers is essential in reducing the danger of fires in houses, offices and small shops. Everyone should be aware of how to use a fire extinguisher, and to be ready for any possible emergency. Extinguishers should also be checked often."

Dr Salem Bou Fanas, Dean of the Dentistry Faculty, thanked Ajman Civil Defence for their cooperation and said: "The training session was useful, educative and informative for all those who attended."
