The Enugu State Government has trained no fewer than 21 fire officers on operational strategies and use of modern fire-fighting equipment to stem fire outbreaks and check its attendance losses.
The fire officers went through fire-fighting drills on modern equipment handling and maintenance, life resuscitation and first aid, safety during operations, emergency and alertness positioning prior and during operations as well as general forms of fire outbreak simulations.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the training on Saturday in Enugu, the Director of Enugu State Fire Service, Engr. Okwudiri Ohaa, said that the intensive and extensive training was to build capacity among the officers.
Ohaa said that the one-month training, which was held between Nov. 10 and Dec. 9, was meant to improve the skills of the fire officers on modern equipment handling as well as optimal emergency preparedness.
According to him, the fire officers were also trained on new emerging challenges in the job such as real-time and proper coordination, crowd control as well as synergy with other security agencies during fire incidents.
“After about three weeks intensive and extensive training in the state fire service headquarters in Enugu; they have another session of one week at the Staff Development Centre, Enugu, where they wrote series of exams as well.
“The training is part of the ambitious and proactive preparation plans of His Excellency, Dr Peter Mbah, to ensure attainment of his “Zero Fire Loss’’ initiative, meant to minimise fire outbreaks and its attendant losses in the state.
“This initiative, which also encompasses equipment upgrade, facility provision (water hydrants) and robust residents’ sensitisation on fire safety consciousness among others, will start to yield positive fruit this harmattan/dry season,” he said.
Ohaa, who is also the Chief Fire and Rescue Officer of the state, noted that the present administration was poised to expand the fire stations within the state.
He said there was a design to ensure at least one fire service station in each of the 17 Local Government Area of the state.
“For many decades, there were only three fire service stations in the entire state. However, the former administration built five more fire service stations in strategic locations in the state.
“With the determination and plan to push fire safety forward, I sincerely believe that our amiable governor will make the reality of one fire service station per council area possible,” he said.
According to him, with fire service stations in each council area, it will take between five and 10 minutes for us to move in an emergency manner to the remotest spot in the state, if there is any fire outbreak.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
