The Federal Fire Service (FFS) has urged Nigerians to call for help during emergencies rather than filming.
In a post shared on its X handle on Wednesday, the Fire Service highlighted situations where citizens grab their phones to record rather than taking action to call the fire service.
The post reads, “Don’t film, call for help! Cars on fire. Smoke everywhere. Phones out, but no one calling for help.
“If you see a fire: call the Federal Fire Service first. Recording will not save lives, action will. Be a hero, not a bystander. Your call can make all the difference. Call 08032003557.”
