“The training commenced with the Federal Fire Service Zonal Command Headquarters, Lagos State, and aimed to cover all zonal commands across the nation.
“The CG said the training became pertinent due to the dynamism of fire disasters in a changing world. He said that the digital innovation, which would be unveiled soon, would improve response time, thereby reducing the loss of lives and property to the barest minimum and saving households and the nation from economic loss.
