Strengthening Emergency Response, Self-defense and Firefighting with Safety Drills



FENC conducts several disaster prevention simulations and drills each year to achieve disaster preparedness and effectiveness. The drills also offer opportunities to review staff’s familiarity with the operation of various disaster prevention apparatus and their preparedness.
Hukou Mill joined hands with 9 brigades from the Fire Bureau of Hsinchu County Government in January 2019 and conducted a safety drill to enhance self-defense, firefighting and disaster preparedness. Hsinchu County Magistrate Wen-Ke Yang participated in the drill with 300 participants, including Eric Hu, President of FENC Textile Business, plant managers and staff, local residents and children from the nearby kindergarten. The drill simulated leakage from heavy oil delivery truck and fire on the ground floor of the factory, which activated the defense and firefighting teams. Emergency responses activated during the drill include reporting and initial response; mobilization of self-defense and firefighting teams; firefighting and rescue; guided emergency evacuation; emergency medical aid and treatment.
