The National Fire Authority (NFA) of Fiji and the Samoa Fire and Emergency Services Authority (SFESA) yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at enhancing emergency response, fire safety and disaster risk reduction across our island nations.

NFA’s chief executive Puamau Sowane said the MOU represented their commitment in standing together as Pacific neighbours to share knowledge, technology and resources to better serve our people.

“Our strength lies in our unity and our ability to learn from each other.”

Samoa’s head Tanuvasa Petone Mauga described the agreement as a significant partnership.

“This signing reflects our shared values, our shared challenges and most importantly our shared commitment to supporting one another in building a stronger, safer and more resilient Blue Pacific,” he said.

“In a region as vast and diverse as ours, we recognise that no country can do everything alone.”
