Federal Fire Service Equips NYSC Corps Members with Life-Saving Fire Awareness in Keffi

The Federal Fire Service (FFS), Nasarawa State Command, has intensified its commitment to safeguarding lives and property through a comprehensive fire safety enlightenment programme at the Magaji Dan Yamusa NYSC Orientation Camp, Keffi.

Acting through its Human Resource Management Department, the Command deployed four personnel to participate in the 2026 NYSC Batch A Stream II Orientation Exercise. The initiative was designed to equip corps members and officials of the National Youth Service Corps with essential fire safety knowledge, emergency response skills, and preventive strategies for use during the orientation exercise, throughout their service year, and beyond.

The team was led by Assistant Superintendent of Fire (ASF II) Abdullahi Jimoh, who coordinated fire safety coverage across the camp. He also delivered detailed lectures and supervised practical fire simulation exercises aimed at building real-time response capacity among participants.

The programme featured structured fire safety lectures alongside hands-on demonstration sessions. Corps members and camp officials actively engaged in the exercises, significantly improving their awareness and preparedness for potential fire emergencies.

Other members of the team included Assistant Inspector of Fire (AIF) Nana Asheu, AIF Hassan Kpanja, and Fire Assistant (FA) Esther Emmanuel.

In a bid to ensure holistic safety coverage, the team also extended its sensitization efforts to camp marketers and kitchen staff, educating them on effective fire prevention measures to mitigate risks within the camp environment.

The exercise recorded impressive participation and compliance levels, marking a significant boost in fire safety consciousness among all stakeholders within the camp.

What you need to know about FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

🔥 HOW DOES ABC DRY CHEMICAL REALLY WORK?

Not all fire extinguishers work the same—
and understanding how they work can make a big difference in an emergency.

ABC dry chemical extinguishers use monoammonium phosphate, a fine yellow powder designed to stop fire quickly and effectively.

🧯 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DISCHARGE IT?

- It interrupts the chemical chain reaction
This is the primary way it stops fire—breaking the reaction that keeps flames burning.

-It forms a coating over the fuel
This helps separate oxygen from the fire, adding a smothering effect.

🔥 ON CLASS A FIRES (WOOD, PAPER)

The powder forms a protective layer on the surface,
helping prevent the fire from starting again.

🧯 WHY IT’S COMMONLY USED

(DCP) ABC extinguishers are multi-purpose:

✔ Class A – Wood, paper, trash
✔ Class B – Flammable liquids
✔ Class C – Electrical equipment (non-conductive)

💡 That’s why it’s one of the most recommended extinguishers for homes.

⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER

Fire extinguishers don’t just “put out flames”—
they work by removing elements of fire like heat, oxygen, or the chemical reaction.

Using the right extinguisher means faster control and safer outcomes.
