Two house fires occurred in Nadi within a span of five hours yesterday, raising concerns within the community about fire safety. The National Fire Authority (NFA) reported the first incident at just after 8:00 AM in Votualevu, where a three-bedroom house was completely destroyed. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The second fire was reported around 11:00 AM at Korovuto village, where another three-bedroom house was quickly contained by NFA officers.
Investigations are ongoing for both incidents to determine the causes and prevent future occurrences. The frequency of recent house fires in the region has prompted the NFA to urge homeowners to exercise greater vigilance and prioritize fire safety measures. This call for increased awareness is particularly pertinent amidst a pattern of similar incidents, such as a recent house fire in Korovuto that led to significant property loss but thankfully no casualties.
The community is encouraged to adopt proactive fire safety practices as efforts continue to support those affected by recent events. Local officials and fire safety advocates stress that through collective vigilance and preparedness, residents can help mitigate the risk of future tragedies. The emphasis on community awareness and unity serves as a hopeful reminder of strength in challenging times.
