Chief Fire Officer of the Seychelles Fire and Rescue Services Agency, Tally Domingue, has said a fire station in north Mahé is still a priority for the agency given the many tourism establishments, the large population and the time it takes to beat the heavy traffic in Victoria during peak hours to reach the northern areas in case of a fire.
