Uasin Gishu firefighters have received new uniforms as part of the ongoing efforts by Governor Dr Jonathan Bii to enhance their working environment.
Speaking at the Eldoret City main fire station after issuing the new uniforms to the 54 fire brigade on Monday, July 21, 2025, County Executive Committee Member for Roads Dr Abraham Serem said the administration is committed to enhancing their safety and comfort while on the job.
“Governor Bii has allocated funds in the 2025/26 financial year specifically to purchase additional fire engines, establish and equip more fire stations to decentralise fire and emergency services and improve the morale of fire and rescue teams,” Dr Serem stated.
He added that the county will purchase new tunics, equipment and continue to invest in the team as he appreciated them for their vibrancy and quick response to emergency incidents not only in Uasin Gishu but also in the neighbouring counties.
On his part, Roads Chief Officer Geoffrey Tanui affirmed the county’s commitment to a continuous improvement on the fire brigade’s working conditions for efficiency in service delivery and boosting morale.
