Major General Talal Al-Roumi, Chief of the Kuwait Fire Force (KFF), emphasized the urgent need to advance the force’s technical and administrative capabilities to meet the growing challenges posed by urban expansion and population growth.
He stressed the importance of enhancing the department’s readiness, efficiency, and ability to safeguard lives and property.
Al-Roumi announced that the force is on the verge of a major organizational restructuring across all sectors, following the approval of a new organizational structure, reports Al-Rai daily.
As part of this development, 10 new fire stations are set to open soon, adding to the 50 currently operational. These stations will be equipped with state-of-the-art tools and technologies to handle a wide range of emergency scenarios.
Al-Roumi also highlighted progress in academic and professional training for both officers and staff, including the introduction of female specialist officers — a historic step that reflects the department’s commitment to diversity and expanded competencies.
He praised the ongoing efforts to raise community awareness and improve disaster preparedness, noting the adoption of a strategic, integrated, and decisive approach that works in coordination with other government bodies. This approach aims to build a modern, responsive firefighting system aligned with the country’s current and future needs.
