The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service has said its investigations have revealed that negligence is majorly responsible for fire incidents in the state.
“Other factors include fuel hoarding and the effects of harmattan haze. The state government under the leadership of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has handed over 62 fire apparatuses, renovated and reconstructed existing fire stations, and constructed four new fire stations while the construction of three additional fire stations is ongoing at Oworonshoki, Ijede, and Ijegun Egba.”
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Relations, Mr Sesan Ogundeko, urged firemen to be dedicated and effective in their service delivery.All rights reserved.
