Meet the “Big Boys” of LASEMA response unit

By


The LASEMA response unit born out of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has been responding to emergencies in Lagos since May of 2016 and it has proven to be one of the great things Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has done for Lagos State...



Trucks falling on highways, fire related incidents, road accidents and more are some of the emergencies that the unit responds to. All you should do as a Lagosian is to dial the 112 or 767 emergency numbers if you have an emergency or notice any incidents in your area
You must have seen yellow vehicles on the streets of Lagos with blue inscription on them saying
 “LASEMA RESPONSE UNIT”.

Meet the vehicles that do all the “heavy lifting”
Charlie 


 The Charlie is a Grove Crane that can carry up to 130 tons of metal. This crane has 40t of counterweight plus 60m of main boom and an 18m swing away fly plus an additional 14m insert available, giving the Charlie a dominant working radius. See photos of it in action

BMW power bikes for Emergency Rapid Responders. 

These rapid responders patrol several roads in Lagos in a bid to respond to emergencies very quickly. Their functions include fast response to incidents for initial incident assessment, heavy equipment escort, high visibility patrols in hotspot locations and prevention activity in removing dangers from roads that have potential to cause emergencies.







The Intensive Care Unit Ambulance

 The ICU ambulance is equipped with complete life support, ventilation and monitoring equipment as well as trained paramedics to care for the critically injured throughout the journey to the hospital or clinic where they are then handed over to the accident and emergency unit.



These vehicles are part of the contributions of Lagos State government to the LRU to bring down response times and perform smooth emergency recovery operations. Indeed #LagosCares
Lagosians do not hesitate to call the emergency numbers 112 & 767 for any emergency in your neighborhood.
