Federal Fire Service Launches Fire Alert System Application (FASAPP) Mobile App

The Federal Fire Service of Nigeria has unveiled Fire Alert System Application (FASAPP); a mobile app to reduce the response time of firefighters to fire outbreaks in the country.

The Controller-General of the Service, Joseph Anebi, announced this during a workshop and enlightenment programme on ‘Enforcement of Fire Alarms and Extinguishing Equipment Regulation’ in Abuja.

Mr. Joseph Anebi said when fire outbreak occurs, the Fire Alert System Application (FASAPP) mobile app has the capability of informing the fire service and the owner of the building simultaneously.

According to Mr. Joseph Anebi:

“With SmokeCom, an innovative feature of this App, buildings will be registered and fire detectors installed such that when there is fire outbreak, the fire service and the owner of the building will be automatically contacted.

FASAPP also provides the general public with emergency ambulance services and fire educational enlightenment notifications.

It also helps to control the use of fire extinguishers for Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), drug trafficking, proliferation of arms, prevents structural fire and attracts foreign investment.

All fire extinguisher vendors will be mandated to register and will be closely monitored for quality assurance and tracking for security purposes.

This no doubt shows our continuous efforts to ensure the safety of lives, properties and the environment.”

He said FASAPP could be downloaded from all APP stores by simply dialing *737*3*300#.

Mr. Anebi said the introduction of FASAPP to the Federal Fire Service had repositions it to serve Nigerians better.

Currently, FASAPP has been installed over a hundred times.
