Arua Nnanna, Chief Fire Officer of <a href=\"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/abia\">Abia <\/a>State Fire Service, stressed that preparedness is the first weapon against fire disasters.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone faced with fire can only be said to be equipped if they have the materials to fight it. A fire extinguisher at your doorstep makes you more effective than a fireman coming from 20 miles away. The governor is telling us to always be ready. Fire extinguishers should be within reach because the first responder in any fire outbreak is YOU,\u201d Nnanna said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that fire outbreaks spread quickly, and without immediate response, damages often become irreversible.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"kvezio kvezio-clearfix kvezio-post-middle kvezio-float-center kvezio-align-center kvezio-column-1\">\n<div id=\"kvezio-178990-1876763422\" class=\"kvezio-container kvezio-type-image \" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WPAdBlock\" data-adid=\"178990\" data-type=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"kvezio-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/afnews.sumofunnel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/cover-1-scaled.jpg?w=1170&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"news paper\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Also lending her voice, Ure Abazie, Director General of <a href=\"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/abia\">Abia <\/a>State Orientation Agency, described the policy as a life-saving directive inspired by recent events.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis whole campaign started after the Enyimba FM fire incident some months ago. The governor realized that if fire extinguishers had been available, that tragedy could have been averted. Immediately, he issued an executive order that every home, office, and business in <a href=\"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/abia\">Abia <\/a>State must have a fire extinguisher,\u201d Abazie explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She added that fire cannot be stopped by panic or shouting, but only by prompt action with the right equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur governor is pragmatic and proactive. Vendors of certified fire extinguishers are already available across <a href=\"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/abia\">Abia <\/a>State. This campaign is not just about compliance\u2014it\u2019s about valuing our lives and investments. I appeal to Ndi <a href=\"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/abia\">Abia <\/a>to take this seriously. Fire extinguishers are effective, safe, and essential,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The message is clear: every household and business in <a href=\"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/abia\">Abia <\/a>must take responsibility as the first line of defense against fire disasters. With the governor\u2019s directive and the ongoing sensitization, <a href=\"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/abia\">Abia <\/a>State is setting the pace for safety consciousness across Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-195208 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/afnews.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fire-ABSOA-5.jpg?resize=1170%2C765&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/afnews.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fire-ABSOA-5.jpg?w=1201&amp;ssl=1 1201w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/afnews.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fire-ABSOA-5.jpg?resize=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/afnews.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fire-ABSOA-5.jpg?resize=1024%2C669&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/afnews.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fire-ABSOA-5.jpg?resize=768%2C502&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/afnews.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fire-ABSOA-5.jpg?resize=860%2C562&amp;ssl=1 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\"\/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_195206\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-195206\" style=\"width: 1195px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-195206 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/afnews.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fire-ABSOA-7.jpg?resize=1170%2C774&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ure Abazie, Director General of <a href=\"https:\/\/abiaradiostations.com.ng\/news\/abia\">Abia <\/a>State Orientation Agency&#8221;
