The Bulawayo Fire Brigade has trained 251 firefighters this year from various rural district councils, municipalities, and private companies, reinforcing its reputation as a leading training center. The city council is also finalizing approvals to establish an ambulance training school, planned to open next year. In a recent session, 35 firefighters from six rural districts graduated, an initiative designed to improve local emergency response capabilities and reduce reliance on the city's services.
The brigade operates from four strategically located stations but recognizes the need for an additional facility in the expanding Cowdray Park suburb. With heavier rainfall anticipated, officials announced plans to intensify public awareness campaigns in schools and communities. These educational programs will focus on the dangers of crossing flooded rivers and streams during the upcoming rainy season.
