The team also visited Samreboi SDA Preparatory School, where over 80 pupils and teachers were educated on common causes of domestic fires and preventive measures.
As part of the campaign, GNFS officers also used Green Gold FM to disseminate fire safety messages to the wider public, aimed at improving awareness and reducing fire outbreaks in the area.
