Gov. Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State on Tuesday
handed over 30 operational vehicles, two area ladders
and two towing vehicles to the Lagos State Fire Service.
Fashola said during the handover ceremony that by
providing more facilities the state government was
bringing the Police Force and the fire service closer to
the people.
“We are bringing the police force and the fire service
close to your neighbourhoods.
“Last week we handed over the Area ‘C’ building to the
Lagos State Police Command. This is to show that our
commitment to saving lives and property is not
diminishing”, he said.
The Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Mr Rasaq
Fadipe, advised residents of the state to memorise the
three-digit emergency numbers (767 and 112) of the
service as the dry season approached.
Fadipe said that the service had responded to over
1,338 fire incidents between January and October.
He also said that over 400 fire hydrants had been
resuscitated to serve the people in case of fire
outbreaks. (NAN)
