Firefighters from rural areas across Matabeleland provinces learn new skills during training sessions in Bulawayo. The program helps local emergency workers handle fires and other disasters better. Government bought new fire trucks and wants councils to prepare for emergencies. Training participants come from Tsholotsho, Kusile, Matobo, Insiza and Hwange districts.
One trainee said the program will change his life and help others who need rescue services. Another person praised how the training teaches teamwork and focus for saving lives. The course covers more than just fighting fires since workers must help with car crashes and floods. Emergency responders need courage and dedication for their dangerous jobs.
Bulawayo Fire Station officer Victor Jele explained that rural districts are getting better emergency services. The city used to handle emergencies for the whole region before this change. Training will make response times faster when disasters happen. Local authorities can now deal with grass fires and traffic accidents on their own.
Zimbabwe wants to improve disaster management across the country. Both rural and urban areas will have better emergency systems. Local councils gain more power to respond to different types of emergencies. The new approach reduces pressure on major cities like Bulawayo.
