The City of Windhoek has launched International Fire Safety Week under the theme “Unite to Ignite for a Secure Nation.” Mayor Ndeshihafela Larandja noted that the Fire Brigade has responded to over 2,000 fire incidents this year, nearly 1,500 of them in informal settlements. Senior Station Officer Phillipus Sikongo highlighted that the campaign, running from 6 to 10 October, aims to raise awareness about fire prevention and community safety.
