The Department of Public Safety Emergency Management Services (EMS) has officially opened the Cosmo City Fire Station which will service the community of Cosmo City and provide support to the neighbouring Diepsloot and Lonehill Fire Stations.
A new state of the art fire engine will also be delivered to the fire station which will ensure that the residents receive effective emergency rescue services.
The Cosmo City Fire Station is a multi-purpose station and is home to the eighth ‘Be Safe Centre’ in the City which is used by the EMS Public Information Educational Relations team to educate the youth about the importance of fire safety.
MMC for Public Safety, Michael Sun says a platoon of 21 fire fighters and paramedics will be deployed at Cosmo City.
He says The Department has dedicated R 11 million rand to an EMS Reservist Development Program to capacitate over 200 reservist so as to prepare them for the firefighter’s qualification assessment.
“This project has been our priority since the new political term as we know that the fast expanding Cosmo City is in dire need of its own fire station the fire station will give much needed relief to surrounding fire stations such as Randburg and Huntershill which also support the emergency services to the area.”
