On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, BEST Class Goes to School visited SMP N 2 Kandeman with the theme “Basic Fire Fighting Techniques”.

 

This activity was attended by 40 students who were eager to learn the theory and practice of fire management.

With an interactive approach, the students not only understood the theory but also had the opportunity to practice directly under the guidance of the BPI Fire Brigade team.

 

BPI's HSE General Manager, Josman Ginting, said that this activity is in line with the company's commitment to provide disaster response education to the community.  

 

“This activity is our effort to provide practical knowledge to students about basic fire-fighting techniques. This is also in line with the company's values that safety is our top priority. We hope the students can get useful supplies to deal with emergency situations in the future,” said Josman Ginting.

 

 

This activity received positive appreciation from the Head of SMP N 2 Kandeman, Suningsih, S.Pd., M.Si. In her speech, she expressed her gratitude to PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia for providing valuable experience for the students.  

“We are very grateful for today's activity. We appreciate this activity and hopefully BPI will continue to be our partner. We really need knowledge about fire management as a provision to face unwanted disasters in the future,” she said.
