Safety training and fire drills pay off for students


REMBAU: The girls of Sekolah Tinggi Islam As Sofa here were put through fire drills and safety training after the tahfiz fire that claimed 23 lives in Kuala Lumpur – and that probably saved their lives.

The 37 female students’ hostel dormitory was destroyed in a fire early yesterday and they escaped unhurt after fleeing the burning building through three unlocked exit doors.
