Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service has expressed preparedness to tackle any emergency fire outbreak during the forthcoming harmattan season.
Amodu said that preparation for the harmattan season was already ongoing, as the service was aware that the period was usually characterised with fire outbreaks.“Our fire and safety preparation campaign is usually all-year round but periodically, we try to double our efforts because it is the ’ember’ months.
“We have started our fire education drill campaign and this is taking us to every sector of the economy and to the populace so that they can know what is expected of them,” he said.“We are starting from the government and agencies to markets, parks and public places like shopping malls, mosques and churches.
