As Lagos, the nation’s commercial hub, continues to strengthen conversations around fire prevention, emergency preparedness, and public safety, critical stakeholders are converging for the third Lagos International Fire Safety Conference (LIFSC 3.0) scheduled to hold from July 6 to 8 at the Marriott Hotel Ikeja.
With the theme, “Preventing the Preventable: Strengthening Fire Safety in Buildings and Business Hubs,” the conference, which will bring together fire service leaders, emergency responders, policymakers, corporate organizations, safety professionals, students, exhibitors, and innovators, is being positioned as a national movement for awareness, preparedness, prevention, and collective action.
Organizers say the conference comes at a critical time when Nigeria continues to advance conversations around fire safety culture, emergency response systems, building compliance, industrial safety, and public awareness.
Controller General of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Margaret Adeseye said, “Fire safety is not the responsibility of government alone. It is a collective responsibility. Every market, every home, every office, every school, and every institution must begin to see safety as a culture and not an afterthought. This conference is an opportunity to educate, collaborate, and build a safer society for all Nigerians.”
LIFSC 3.0 is expected to feature keynote sessions, live demonstrations, strategic dialogues, exhibitions, safety innovations, and stakeholder engagements designed to drive both awareness and action.
Speaking on the initiative by the state government, conference consultant and CEO of HSENations, Femi Da-silva described the event as a national movement beyond just a conference.
He said, “This is not just another gathering. This is a wake-up call for the nation. Some families have lost loved ones, many businesses have gone up in flames to disasters which could have been prevented. LIFSC is about changing mindsets, strengthening systems, and making safety everyone’s business. We want conversations in homes, in schools, in markets, in boardrooms, and across social media. We want Nigerians to begin asking questions about preparedness, prevention, and protection. Safety awareness must become part of our everyday life.”
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service called on government institutions, corporate organizations, educational institutions, emergency agencies, development partners, media organizations, and the general public to participate in and support the initiative.
Adeseye emphasized that one message remains central, “A safer nation begins with awareness, preparedness, and action.”
