Easter: Federal Fire Service boss issues safety tips

As Christians in Nigeria join the rest of the world to commemorate Easter, the Controller General, Federal Fire Services (FFS), Engr. Abdulganiyu Jaji has called for caution and vigilance to forestall all forms of fire disasters during the ceremony.

He also issued an urgent warning regarding water safety and the risks associated with lighting barbecues.

Jaji observed that during such festive seasons, many families plan outdoor gatherings, stressing the importance of vigilance near water bodies, especially swimming pools while also warning against unsafe barbecue practices that could lead to accidents or fires.

The FFS CG in a statement he personally signed, advised families, especially overzealous youths to avoid lighting barbecues in areas prone to high winds or near dry vegetation, as this can quickly escalate into a fire hazard.

The Fire Service boss who congratulated Christians on the Easter celebration, appealed that with increased activity around pools, lakes, and beaches, swimmers are urged to stay within designated safe areas and be mindful of the potential dangers posed by cold water or strong currents.

This is as he added that adhering to safety precautions, including proper supervision and adhering to guidelines, are key to preventing incidents over the Easter weekend.

He said, ” It’s a fact , that Easter is a time for family fun but it’s also important to stay vigilant and keep fire safety top of your mind during the celebrations.

While the warmer weather means that families, and peer groups, will be visiting beaches, rivers and lakeside spots, but, it is also important to warn of the dangers that lurk beneath the surface

“Even when it’s a warm, sunny day, the water can still be cold enough to induce Cold Water Shock, which can seriously affect your breathing and movement,” Jaji warned

“There may also be strong currents which can pull even the most experienced swimmers under the water.
That’s why we are urging the public not to be tempted to take a dip in open water spots such as rivers and lakes, no matter how tempting they may look.

“If you fall in the water, float on your back. Easter is also a time for delicious treats, but it’s important to stay safe in the kitchen. Never leave cooking unattended. If you need to leave the kitchen while cooking – even for just a few seconds – take pans off the heat or turn them off completely.

“Be mindful of hot surfaces; keep flammable items such as oven mitts, tea towels and cables away from the cooker top.

Engr Jaji further urged citizens to embrace harmony and national cohesion.

Commenting on incessant fire outbreaks caused majorly by tanker fire, the FFS boss expressed his agency’s resolve to always respond further to improve its response time to disasters and other emergencies.

He also disclosed that the services partnership with major stakeholders was yielding results.
