One thing all of Guam's public schools share in common and is a major safety violation is the fact that they all don't have fire alarms. In the effort to promote fire safety, fire chief Dave Peredo says they have already trained 80 employees from the Guam Public School System to take part in the "Fire Watch" program.

The Guam Fire Department's chief told KUAM News, "As far as the objective of the [Attorney General's School Safety and Health] Task Force, we just want people to be alert of these things, to be conscious. Continuous inspections of these systems to determine if they're functional, if not to address it immediately."
