Kwara Fire Station warns against setting up shop under power lines

FCT Fire Department moves to thwart attack on personnel


The Federal Capital Territory Fire Service (FCT-Fire) said it was working with police and other security agencies to avoid attacks on emergency responders.

The service’s spokesperson, Ibrahim Tawhid, told reporters in Abuja on Monday that they are also working to raise awareness in the community about the importance of the service’s mission.

“To prevent hoodlums from disrupting our firefighting efforts, we are considering increasing community involvement through outreach programs to raise awareness about the importance of our work.

“Working with local authorities and community leaders, including district mayors and chiefs, will go a long way in addressing this ugly trend,” he added.

A spokesperson said the company will continue to work closely with law enforcement to provide backup in the event of an emergency to prevent rioters from attacking firefighters or looting property.

“The recent Samsung warehouse fire incident was a perfect example of how thugs and other miscreants attacked our employees in large numbers, paving the way for their nefarious activities.

“Thus, our collaboration with security agencies and community leaders will help create a much-needed safer environment for our personnel to work in,” Tawheed said.
