Lagos State Government has recorded a major asset expansion in its emergency response services, with the inauguration of newly upgraded/rehabilitated fire and rescue service headquarters and three newly-built fire stations.
With the three additional assets, Lagos now has 21 fully equipped fire stations across the State. The facility expansion programme was part of the recommendations that followed the 2020 comprehensive assessment carried out by the Lagos State Government in the emergency response department aimed at enhancing performance.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, as one of the First Emergency Responders, provide essential services which require its personnel to work round the clock. For such people, a conducive working environment will greatly motivate them and boost their morale. Fire stations are beyond stand-by bays for emergency operations calls up. It is a place for administrative duties, strategising emergency management, and prevention plans just to mention a few, on one hand. On the other hand, it is a Centre for the rejuvenation and recuperation of Firemen from excruciating tasks that they do to the public. It is an excursion venue for the students and a tourist attraction to the generality. So it is important to make our fire stations attractive.
