The General Directorate of Civil Defence has launched its annual camping season safety campaign, including field visits to camping areas in Sakhir.
The General Directorate stressed the importance of camp owners adhering to the guidelines and advice. The most important of these are ensuring the safety of electrical connections, keeping generators away from the tent, avoiding lighting fires or smoking inside the tent, and not using gasoline to light charcoal and firewood. It is also important to provide a manual fire extinguisher and a first aid kit and allocate a place for cooking away from the tents.
