A church in northern China, Changchun city, Jilin province, hosted a fire safety lecture with the local fire department on November 10.
November 9th is China's annual "Fire Safety Awareness Day," aligning with the Chinese fire emergency number "119." November also marks the transition from autumn to winter, when the weather gets dry, making it the weather of high fire risk.
Recently, a fire erupted in a church in a northern town just three days after renovations, destroying video and audio equipment, doors, windows, and the roof.
In response, on November 10, Hexin Church in Helong Town, Nong'an County, Changchun city, organized a fire safety lecture after Sunday worship. The church invited Instructor Wang from the local fire department to lecture on key topics, including the "four fire safety capabilities" (the ability to inspect and eliminate fire hazards, to organize the fire fighting of initial fires, to organize the evacuation of personnel, and to publicize, educate and train fire safety), self-inspection for safety, removal of hidden hazards, and case studies on fire incidents.
Instructor Wang covered five key aspects of fire safety through demonstrations, videos, and on-site lectures. First, he instructed believers on using fire extinguishers and other firefighting tools in case of a fire. Second, he explained how the church can organize orderly firefighting efforts during an emergency. In addition to fire safety at church, he discussed safe practices for using fire and electricity at home. He also demonstrated the proper use of equipment like fire blankets and extinguishers. Finally, he offered guidance on self-protection and emergency measures when firefighting equipment is unavailable, including how to call for help and evacuate safely.

长春教会邀请当地消防部门开展消防安全知识讲座。
每年的11月9日是中国的“消防宣传日”，这个日期与火警电话号码“119”相对应，11月正值秋冬交替，天气干燥，是火灾多发季节。
最近在北方的一个乡镇教堂，由于电路起火，导致刚刚装修好三天的教堂，视频设备、音响设备、门窗、屋顶等化为灰烬。借此，11月10日，吉林省长春市农安县合隆镇合心基督教堂在主日崇拜之后，组织了一场消防安全知识讲座，邀请了当地消防部门的王教官为大家进行讲解了“消防安全四个能力”、安全自查、隐患自除、火灾案例等内容。
王教官在现场通过演示、视频和授课，讲解了五个方面的内容：一、信众在遇到火警时如何使用灭火器等消防器材；二、火灾发生时教堂如何有秩序的组织安全扑救；三、除了教堂的安全防火之外，家庭生活当中如何用火、用电；四、火灾发生时如何使用灭火器材，如灭火毯、灭火器等；五、当发生火灾的时候，在没有灭火器材等措施的情况下如何采取措施、自救，包括如何报警、如何逃生等。
