Lagos State Fire And Rescue Service (LSFRS) Ready For Any Fire Outbreak During Harmattan Season
Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS) has expressed preparedness to tackle any emergency fire outbreak during the forthcoming harmattan season.
The Public Relations Officer of LSFRS, Mr Shakiru Amodu, gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos.
Our fire and safety preparation campaign is usually all-year round but periodically, we try to double our efforts because it is the ’ember’ months.
“Though we must state that harmattan does not cause fire, it, however, helps to spread it at the speed of light.
The Public Relations Officer of LSFRS, Mr Shakiru Amodu, gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos.
It is our peak period and we always have double preparation in place.
Amodu noted that over the years, some people did not actually know what to do in times of emergency.
“We are starting from the government and agencies to markets, parks and public places like shopping malls, mosques and churches.
We have fire tankers in 10,000 and 20,000 water capacity. We also have the sky lift area ladder fire fighting to fight fire in high rise buildings. So in terms of equipment and training, we are on top.
“We also have fire fighters who have been trained both locally and internationally,” Amodu said.
He stated that the fire service took delivery of 62 fire apparatus, including rapid intervention vehicles and conventional fire engine.
