A fire broke out at John Wesley College in Raiwaqa, resulting in significant damage to several facilities, including the Technical Drawing room, science lab, computer lab, home economics room, and staff room.
Puamau Sowane, the CEO of the National Fire Authority, reported that the fire trucks arrived at the scene later than expected. He expressed concern that a more timely response could have minimized the damage.
While this incident is unfortunate and has caused disruption to the school’s operations, it also serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety measures and swift emergency responses in educational institutions. The community can come together to support the school in rebuilding efforts and restoring these vital learning spaces for the students.
In the aftermath of this incident, there is hope that new improvements will be made to fire response protocols, ensuring better protection for schools and other establishments in the future.
