Construction works for the Chirundu Town Council (CTC) Fire Station in Kabanana of Musaya Ward, Chirundu Constituency, have continued to make steady progress, marking a major leap forward in strengthening the district’s emergency response capacity.
The new fire station is envisioned to become a fully equipped, modern facility capable of supporting firefighters with adequate space for fire engines, storage of specialised equipment, training areas, and standby accommodation. This investment will significantly reduce response delays, ensuring that communities in and around Chirundu receive faster, well-coordinated assistance in times of emergencies.
Beyond improving operational efficiency, the fire station will play a crucial role in community safety education. It will serve as a hub for awareness programmes, school engagements, and fire prevention campaigns aimed at empowering residents with knowledge to protect their homes, businesses, and public spaces from potential hazards.
The project also aligns with CTC’s broader efforts to expand infrastructure that enhances service delivery and strengthens disaster preparedness. Once completed, the fire station will stand as a symbol of progress and commitment to safeguarding the wellbeing of every resident.
