On September 22, 2026, the Center for Biologics Research and Development (CBRD), Chulabhorn Research Institute (CRI), through the Fire Prevention and Suppression Committee, organized a basic firefighting training course and fire evacuation drill for the 2026 Fiscal Year. The training was held for personnel working within the CBRD building to enhance their knowledge and skills in fire prevention and suppression in the event of an emergency.
