Absolutely, let’s talk about the Federal Fire Service, or as it’s commonly known, the FFS. This institution is one of the critical pillars of Nigeria’s safety and emergency response system. They are the firefighters, the first responders, always ready to handle fires and rescue operations nationwide. The FFS has been around since 1901, so they’ve got quite a bit of experience under their belt, wouldn’t you agree?
Now, let’s talk recruitment. It’s like a yearly event for them. They open the gates yearly, inviting eager and eligible Nigerians to join their ranks. Their official website is usually buzzing with activity during this period.
You won’t believe this – back in 2019, they made a record by recruiting over 2,200 new officers and men. Quite impressive, right? This was a significant increase, and it went a long way in boosting their service delivery across the country.

Of course, the number of recruits can vary from year to year. But that 2019 drive definitely set a high bar. It’s a testament to how important the FFS is in protecting Nigerian lives and properties and a call to all capable individuals who are passionate about making a difference to consider joining the service. So, what do you think? Isn’t it a fascinating institution?
