The Zomba City Council is urging the public to report any fires or emergencies promptly after a recent incident in Chinamwali turned violent.
A minibus caught fire after stopping at the Chinamwali market, and although the council’s fire department responded, they were met with hostility.
The council’s spokesperson, Aubrey Moses, explained that the fire department wasn’t late, but the message came late.
“Fires involving oil are different from other fires in their nature, so people should understand this,” Moses said.
Despite the challenges, Moses appealed to the public to report any fires or emergencies immediately.
“We are here to help, and we need your cooperation to respond effectively,” he emphasized.
The incident highlights the importance of understanding and cooperation between the public and emergency responders. By working together, the community can ensure a swift and effective response to emergencies.
