The
Federal Fire Service (FFS) has trained sixty State Fire Fighters in a
two week intensive course on Fire Prevention and Code Enforcement
against fire invidence during the yelutide and beyond.
The
training at the National Fire Academy (NFA) Sheda Abuja is in keeping
with the commitment of the FFS to boost relevant knowledge and skill on
the fire fighters towards domestication of the code and its enforcement.
While
issuing certificates to course participants at the National Fire
Academy, the Controller General Federal Fire Service, Anebi Joseph Garba
said the Federal Fire Service has offered to organise Fire Safety Plan
Examiners/Code Enforcement and Fire investigation trainings respectively
for the benefit of Fire Service personnel in the states.
Impressed
by the number of participants from the States, the Fire Service boss
charged them to take back to their various State Fire Services all that
they had acquired as an ambassador of the college and impact positively
on other colleagues in order to ensure effective Fire Prevention and
Code Enforcement at State and Local Government levels.
He
said that the essence of the training which was to build State’s fire
personnel capacity and enhanced synergy towards the domestication and
effective code Enforcement, is already achieved.
He
used the occasion to re-state his commitment towards turning around the
NFA to a world class institute that would attract fire fighters from
the sub-region and beyond.
Earlier,
the commandant of the Academy, ACG Olusola Basiri had admonished them
not to abdicate reading often the course material in order to become
proficient and imbibe the Fire Safety Code as a Bible of study which
contains the minimum safety standards in order to improve on the new
assignment.
