April 2007: Angus Fire has donated some fire hose and fire fighting foam to the Nigerian Fire Service as part of a Fire Aid package to enhance the operational capability of the fire service in Lagos. Fire engines and other important support equipment were also part of the much-needed aid package.
Long Tradition
“We have been donating to Fire Aid packages in Africa since 2001,” said Chris Payne, Angus Fire Sales Manager for Nigeria. “This is our tenth Fire Aid project and it is notable for its scale, speed of implementation and the immediacy of its effect. Previously, the Lagos Fire Service only had eight fire engines to protect 17 million people and each fire engine was more than fifteen years old. The Lagos Fire Service’s capacity to deal effectively with serious fire and rescue incidents has been significantly enhanced as a result of this donation.”
