Nairobi City County has established a 406-member Fire and Rescue workforce and operationalised seven strategically located fire stations across the capital.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja told the Senate that his administration has conducted fire safety drills and emergency simulation exercises as part of sweeping reforms aimed at building a disaster-ready city.
Appearing before the Senate Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, Sakaja outlined the county’s progress in strengthening firefighting and emergency response, saying the reforms are designed to improve preparedness, reduce response times and enhance public safety.
