FFS Calls for Investment in Fire Stations Nationwide

The Federal Fire Service (FFS) has called on wealthy Nigerians, philanthropists, business leaders, and corporate organizations to support the establishment of fire stations across Nigeria, emphasizing that fire safety is a collective responsibility. This appeal was made by the Controller General of the FFS, Adeyemi Samuel Olumode, during a one-day National Stakeholders’ Summit on Fire Safety held in Abuja.

The summit, themed “Building a Resilient Fire Service for the 21st Century,” highlighted the need for strategically located fire stations to improve emergency response times. Olumode pointed out that investments in fire stations, as demonstrated by successful projects in Offa, Oyo, Idanre, Bonny Island, and Kugbo, can significantly enhance community safety.

He characterized such contributions as vital investments in saving lives and protecting property rather than mere acts of charity. Additionally, Olumode noted that the summit marked one year since he assumed office on August 14, 2025, providing an opportunity to review the FFS's progress over the past year.
