The Importance of Fire Safety in Commercial Buildings in Cameroon: Solutions and Regulations

In Cameroon, fires in commercial buildings are unfortunately common, resulting in significant human and material losses each year. The recent surge in these incidents highlights the urgent need for collective reflection and action to improve fire safety across the country.

A Worrying Situation

Many fires in Cameroon are caused by avoidable factors such as electrical failures, improper use of cooking equipment, and lack of maintenance of electrical installations. In urban areas like Yaoundé and Douala, these fires are often more frequent due to high population density and non-compliance with construction standards.

The issue is further exacerbated by a lack of public awareness regarding fire prevention best practices, as well as the absence of adequate and accessible firefighting equipment. Additionally, fire services, often under-equipped and underfunded, struggle to respond quickly and effectively, particularly in hard-to-reach neighborhoods.

🏛️ Regulatory Framework in Cameroon

Cameroon has laws and regulations governing fire safety, but their enforcement remains limited. Compliance with construction standards, for instance, is often inadequate. Flammable materials are frequently used in the construction of residential and commercial buildings without appropriate safety measures. It is essential to strengthen these regulations by making them stricter and ensuring their implementation through regular inspections.
