KALOMO TOWN COUNCIL FIRE BRIGADE SENSITIZES TRADERS AT BWACHA MARKET

Kalomo Town Council Fire Brigade conducted a fire safety sensitization with traders at Bwacha Market in Mwaata Ward, aimed at enhancing awareness on fire prevention, safety and emergency response.

During the sensitization, the Fire Brigade highlighted common causes of fires, including careless disposal of lit ci******es, overloading of electrical points and circuits, and deliberate burning of waste materials or rubbish.

Traders were encouraged to have portable fire extinguishers in their shops and were guided on how to use them correctly. They were also advised to avoid leaving candles and braziers unattended, as these can easily cause fires.

The Fire Brigade further explained emergency procedures to follow in the event of a fire, including raising the alarm, calling the Fire Brigade, evacuating to safety, closing doors and windows where appropriate, proceeding to a designated assembly point and conducting a roll call.

The community was also informed that the Fire Brigade responds to various emergencies beyond structural fires, including road traffic accidents, drowning incidents, bush fires, house and building fires, as well as motor vehicle fires.

The Fire Brigade also shared its emergency contact line: 0974 517 666, encouraging members of the public to immediately contact the brigade whenever emergency assistance is required.
