FIRE SAFETY CHECKLIST FOR HOME OWNERS AND RENTERS
☑️Put a check in front of each statement that is true for your home
1.Smoke alarms are in every level of the home
2.People stay in the kitchen when they are frying, grilling, boiling or broiling food.
How on earth will someone use an inflammable liquid like petrol as souvenir?, thereby endangering the lives of those at that event.
This act is highly condemnable.
We are in touch with our men in Fire Stations around Badagry and Festac, we are trying to gather more information as regards the reported explosion in Lagos State, Nigeria. We are on it.
We want to sincerely thank
@segalink
and others for alerting us of this particular fire. Our men successfully extinguished the fire.
Every Nigerian should have our Numbers, 08032003557, 112. It is better to call the direct lines than to tweet in an emergency situation.
Update!
The Fireservice responded promptly and is currently in the process of putting out the fire! Thank you all soooo much! Thank you.

Why do you still pour fuel in your generator without putting it off?
When last did you service the extinguisher in your offices/homes?
Why do you still use your phone in fuel stations?
Think am o. Safety is a collective effort.
Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home, car or office?
If no, go and get one.
If yes, when last did you check it or ask a professional to help you check it, to be sure it is in a good state.
A fire extinguisher can save the day when fire decides to visit.

Keeping your gas cylinder in your vehicle with the car windows rolled up is dangerous, especially when the car is parked under the sun, as it will result to the explosion of the cylinder. Always transport gas cylinders in an upright position, secured properly...
REMEMBER!
If your clothes catch on fire:
Stop what you’re doing
Drop to the ground and cover your face if you can
Roll over and over or back and forth until the flames go out. Running will only make the fire burn faster
THEN:
Once the flames are out, Call for medical attention
Smoke alarms save lives, but only if they’re working.
Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.

Thank you Doc.
Fire extinguishers are a must have; they help eliminate fire at the incipient stage and are very easy to use.
HOW TO USE;
P: Pull the pin
A: Aim at the fire
S: Squeeze the nozzle
S: Sweep from one end of the fire to the other.

When your air conditioner is not regularly maintained, it runs the risk of becoming faulty and catching fire. This could be as a result of worn-out filters that accumulate with dirt, and dust particles resulting in the malfunctioning of your system. Call us on 112 or 08032003557
If you have a split-unit AC and are going out for any length of time, it is best to switch it off from the wall and completely unplug it from the socket. Don’t just use the remote control to switch it off. Unplug it completely.

That camp gas in your kitchen, how long have you had it? Camp gases are not to be used in enclosed spaces for a long period of time.
That's why it is called a camp gas.
