I'm happy for the prompt action taken by the Firefighters. However, the govt. Should do more about the response to emergency situations either man-made accidents or natural disasters. Once again, 3 GBOSAS!!! to the Firemen... |

I remember the Dana accident like it was yesterday, a lot of folks on here said why didn't the fire team respond, so many questions were asked. Now that fire team has arrived, story has changed to why don't they have a unique number. My people, let us learn to appreciate the littlest (abeg forgive my bombasticulous enigrish), no matter how irrelevant it may sound (to some). It's true that the U.S. may have a better system than ours, but it will give the firemen great joy for rescuing folks from that fire. The enthusiasm they have will gear them up to do better jobs next time. There's a saying "better late than never". Though their fire trucks looks awful but calling a spade a spade, they have tried. If only they have responded like this in the Dana accident, casualties wouldn't have been heavy. However, like they say, great learning comes from experience. While they have lots of work ahead like improving their time response, erecting fire hydrants connected to direct water supply, educating the people on what numbers to calls in case of fire and rescue emergencies, I mean the list is endless, let us not STOP short of giving them credit. I've always respected firemen and police officers - people who put themselves in the line of risk. In all my gibberish, I SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO THEM, keep the gr8 work coming. Though lots of work is needed but more grease to your elbows. 2 Likes |

hollandis: i hate it whem people give kudos to govt officials for doing their jobExactly wat I was thinking. We need institutions & govt officials functioning like they shld be. Just d other day, I looked out of my balcony & I saw some kids playing in d woods. Moments later, I saw fire burning. I was gna watch d fire 2 see if it'll get outta control. But while I was stl watching, d fire service arrived & put it out. All this happened within a short period of time. It got me thinkin u knw. If it were in Nig. wld d fire service respond promptly to bush fire. I think we shld move away 4rm d era where we clap 4 d govt when dy build boreholes. Some things are naturally d ryts of d citizens & dt is y they'r thr 2 work 4 d citizens. |

In the old Nitel system, 199 puts you in touch with the Nitel operator who can connect you to the police control room, the fire service, etc. It was toll free. When Nitel collapsed, each network created its own emergency number (some even entered into agreements with health care providers so that the providers will respond to emergency calls). The system did not always work. Not all the numbers were toll free. The Lagos State government set up the 767 and 112 emergency number system. A call to any of those numbers will connect you to the Lagos State Emergency Command and Control Centre. The centre is directly in touch with LASAMBUS (ambulance), Rapid Response Squad (RRS/police), Lagos State Fire and Safety Service and Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA). It is also from this centre that the CCTV cameras are monitored. The system works and is toll free. However, I'd still advocate that we go back to the old (Nitel) system of having a single national three digit emergency number. Someone from Minna, who is a first time visitor to Lagos, might not know the 767 number and knowledge of the number might be crucial, especially when decisions need to be taken in a split second. 1 Like |

This next article reminds me of when I was a kid. I regularly called the "special numbers" (speaking clock, ring back, etc. We even used the ring back number to play an April fools joke on my aunt), but the one number I always wanted to call, but never had the courage to dial, was 199. When I was in nursery school my parents taught me to call 199 if there was an emergency. However, they also taught me that if I called 199 when there's no emergency, the police would come and arrest me. I hope pyguru doesn't ban me when I post the article. |

Apparently you don't know how must certification is needed to build houses overseas, from sprinklers to smoke alarm and the government even have fire hydrants so fire crews won't run out of water while fighting blazes.stop defending the indefensible. |
