Six Chinese students applied what they had learnt at a fire drill to help keep a blaze in control and evacuate residents before firemen came to rescue Saturday afternoon.

They were playing table tennis when one of them saw heavy smoke coming out of some residential apartments.

They rushed to the spot and threw water on the flames. 

But the fire got worse. The students who had recently participated in a  fire drill at school covered their mouth and nose with wet cloth and knocked on doors to alert and help evacuate residents.

Meanwhile, one of them called the fire brigade which showed up in time to extinguish the fire.
