Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Capital Territory Fire Service said it has strengthened its operational capabilities to respond effectively to fire outbreaks and other emergencies in the territory during the Yuletide.<\/p>\n

The spokesman of the service, Ibrahim Tauheed, made this known in an interview with NAN on Wednesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the Yuletide season, the service usually takes specific measures to avert fire-related incidents such as cooking, frying, barbecue, and fireworks activities within the city of Abuja and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is usually achieved through public awareness campaigns during the festive seasons as well as by emphasising safe cooking practises, the proper use of fireworks and precautions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The spokesman also said the service has heightened patrols and inspections in residential areas to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always pay special attention to places where outdoor cooking and fireworks displays are standard during Yuletide celebrations. We also go to communities and enlighten them about fire safety measures, in case it happens during the festivities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also organise workshops and community meetings to educate residents on the safe use of cooking equipment, barbecue grills, and fireworks,\u201d Tauheed added.<\/p>\n

He said that the service usually strengthens its emergency response plans, focusing on quick and efficient responses to fire incidents.<\/p>\n

This, he said, was usually done through Division Fire Officers at various stations across the territory.<\/p>\n

Tauheed said that the service also collaborates with other emergency services to coordinate efforts during peak celebration times.<\/p>\n

He said that the enforcement unit had intensified surveillance and enforcement on the sale and use of fireworks to ensure that only licenced vendors sell them and users follow safety guidelines.<\/p>\n
