Firefighters remember their day
Firefighters in the country commemorated International Firefighters’ Day yesterday with a ceremony to celebrate their bravery and dedication and that of their colleagues around the world and to remember those who have lost their lives in the course of their duties.
During the ceremony which took place at the New Port fire station, Home Affairs Minister Charles Bastienne launched a weeklong of activities during which firefighters from the Seychelles Fire & Rescue Services Agency (SFRSA) and the Seychelles Airport Fire Services (SAFS) will be in the forefront raising public awareness on fire safety – both at home and at workplaces. This will be through a week-long exhibition being held at the New Port fire station, talks and educational sessions at district level, fire safety quiz among other activities.
