The Agency is charged to provide adequate and prompt response as well as sustaining intervention in all forms of emergency/disaster situations in the State within the territorial boundary called “Lagos”.

LASEMA recently celebrated the International Firefighters’ Day by showing Lagosians how it responds to emergency situations, be it a fire or motor accident, with just a phone call.

The International Firefighters’ Day is observed each year on 4th May and on this date, the past firefighters who have died while serving our community are remembered for protecting us.
