SFESA

SFESA was part of the Ministry of Police and Prisons before it was separated to become a Government Authority in 2005. Even though the separation became official, its budget was still part of the Ministry of Police and Prison's budget until 2007 when its primary legislation "Fire and Emergency Services Act" was enacted by Parliament in February 2007. It was also at this time that it officially became a Public Beneficial Body. At the beginning, there was only one fire station which is now the Apia Station. Faleata Station was established in 2009 whilst the Asau Station and Maota Station (relocated from Salelologa where it was originally established) were established in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
