Welcome to the Fire Safety & Emergency Prevention Department of the Samoa Fire & Emergency Services Authority (SFESA).

Talofa lava and welcome!

 

Our mission is simple — to keep every family, every village, and every community in Samoa safe. We work to prevent fires, reduce emergencies, and make sure everyone knows what to do when danger strikes.

 

The Fire Safety & Emergency Prevention Department is made up of four dedicated divisions, each with a vital role in protecting our people and our nation’s future.

 

  1. Compliance Division

This team helps keep our buildings safe for everyone. They inspect homes, schools, offices, and public spaces to make sure fire alarms, hydrants, and sprinkler systems are working properly. Their goal is to ensure that every building has safe exits and meets national fire safety standards — protecting lives, livelihoods, and community assets.

 

  1. Awareness & Prevention Division

Knowledge saves lives. This team visits schools, villages, and workplaces to teach people how to prevent fires and stay safe. From cooking and electrical safety to evacuation planning, they remind us that prevention begins at home — and that a few simple actions can protect entire communities.

 

  1. Communications Division

This is the voice that connects our nation in times of need. The Communications team manages the emergency radio network that links firefighters, police, and ambulance services. They also monitor fire alarm systems across Samoa — ensuring that when an alarm sounds, help is sent immediately.

 

  1. National Emergency Coordination Centre (NECC)

When you dial 911, this is where your call is answered. The NECC team works around the clock to make sure your emergency reaches the right responders — whether it’s a fire, medical emergency, road accident, or any other crisis.

 

At SFESA, we believe safety starts with all of us — in our homes, workplaces, schools, and villages. If you have questions, need advice, or notice something unsafe, please reach out.

Together, we can build a safer, stronger, and more resilient Samoa
