The
Federal Fire Service in Abuja is planning on going door to door in
order to educate Abuja residents and businesses about correct fire
safety procedures.
The
Assistant Controller General of the Service, Ademola Jolaosho, said
they were embarking on an enlightenment campaign for offices, markets
and other business premises to educate people on what precautions to
take to limit chances of a fire outbreak.
“As
time goes on, we will extend it to homes because what is obtainable in
the office is also obtainable in the home. We need to advice people who
engage in unsafe practices in their homes, to be careful so as to guard
against fire outbreaks,” he said.
Mr
Jolaosho also disclosed that the service had instituted an integrated
system of fire disaster management and was taking measures to ensure
that their fire fighting equipment was in good condition.
He
also warned that buildings without emergency exits and other
precautionary components will be sealed off and appealed to developers
to include fire safety designs in new buildings in the city.
