Federal fire service seeks strict compliance with fire safety measures

The Federal Fire Service has called for increased awareness and strict compliance with fire safety measures in public and private buildings.
The assistant comptroller general of the service, Umar Faruk-Muhammad, stated this in a message of sympathy to fire victims in Kano.
“The people at the fire scene have seen the measures taken by the Federal Fire Service. There is no need to explain further, as they commend our intervention,” Mr Faruk-Muhammad said.
He stressed the need for sustained public awareness on the use of fire safety accessories, particularly fire extinguishers, in homes, markets and business premises.
According to him, property owners and traders must ensure fire extinguishers are provided on their premises and acquire basic knowledge of how to operate them in the event of a fire.
“There should be proper awareness on fire safety accessories, how to operate them and what steps to take immediately a fire incident starts,” Mr Faruk-Muhammad said.
Mr Faruk-Muhammad added that further discussions on fire prevention and safety measures would be held with the chairman and leaders of the Singha Market Association.
He said that more issues relating to fire awareness and safety protocols would be addressed after the meeting with the market leadership.
