The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Fire Service has commenced a large-scale deployment of fire routers to all public and private buildings, including marketplaces, within the FCT.
This initiative aims to safeguard lives, properties, and businesses against fire emergencies, particularly as the peak of the dry season approaches, a time when fire incidents are more common.
In a statement signed by the Acting Director of the FCT Fire Service, Zacchaeus Adebayo, the initiative was described as integral to the FCT Fire Emergency Monitoring Gateway project, aimed at modernising fire response systems in the territory.
The statement read, “The Fire Router Deployment Initiative is an integral part of the FCT Fire Emergency Monitoring Gateway project, which aims to modernize fire response systems in the territory. The fire routers will enhance real-time detection of fire incidents and facilitate swift communication with our emergency response units, drastically reducing response times and minimizing potential damages.
“Key features of the fire routers include real-time fire alerts: Immediate detection and notification of smoke or fire outbreaks. Direct connectivity to the FCT Fire Emergency Monitoring Gateway: Ensures instant communication with the FCT Fire Service for faster response.
“Increased safety for marketplaces and residential areas: Provides proactive fire monitoring for high-risk areas such as crowded markets and densely populated buildings.
“The FCT Fire Service is committed to ensuring the safety of all residents and visitors in the FCT. We urge public and private building owners, market leaders, and other stakeholders to support this initiative by granting our teams access for the installation of fire routers.
“We also remind residents of the importance of adhering to fire safety guidelines, especially during this dry season. By working together, we can significantly reduce the risk of fire incidents and build a safer community for all.
