BeFree Youth Campus Staff Receive Fire Safety Training from City of Windhoek Fire Unit. Today, staff members at the BeFree Youth Campus in Windhoek took part in a comprehensive Fire Safety and Protection Training, led by the City of Windhoek’s Fire & Safety Unit. The session was aimed at strengthening emergency preparedness and ensuring a safer environment for all who use the campus facilities.

The training focused on critical fire response skills, including how to identify fire hazards, use fire extinguishers, execute safe evacuations, and respond calmly under pressure during emergencies. Staff gained hands-on experience that could prove vital in preventing injuries and protecting property.

A notable highlight of the day was the appointment of four staff members as official Fire Marshalls. These individuals will undergo additional training to lead campus-wide emergency response efforts and champion fire safety protocols throughout the facility.

BeFree Youth Campus management expressed their appreciation to the City of Windhoek for their collaboration and dedication to community safety. “We’re grateful for this opportunity to strengthen our staff’s capacity to respond to emergencies. This training is not just a requirement—it’s an investment in the wellbeing of everyone who visits or works on this campus,” a spokesperson said.

As the BeFree Youth Campus continues its work in empowering youth, this fire safety training reflects its broader commitment to maintaining a secure and responsive space for learning, engagement, and innovation.
