In this article, we examine the alarming fire situation in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Devastating fires are very common in markets, public buildings and residential areas, and cause serious consequences for the city’s inhabitants and economy. Unfortunately, the fire departments are ill-equipped and under-equipped to deal with these emergencies, which raises questions about the fire prevention and management policy in Kinshasa. In addition, the fire brigade encounters many obstacles such as the lack of means of transport, the lack of water and the absence of fire hydrants. It is therefore necessary to put in place concrete measures to improve the prevention and management of fires in Kinshasa, in particular by strengthening the means of the fire services and by raising awareness among the inhabitants of the importance of preventive measures. In conclusion, only a genuine anti-fire policy can guarantee the safety of the inhabitants of Kinshasa and their property.

This article focuses on the Kibali Gold Mining company in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which has succeeded in reconciling its mining activities with the preservation of the environment. The article describes the steps taken by the company, including extensive studies to determine starting conditions, the use of reclaimed water for mineral processing, and respect for local communities. In short, Kibali Gold mining is an example to follow for mining companies concerned about the environment.

Waste management, particularly electrical, electronic and pneumatic equipment, is a major issue in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In order to reduce health and environmental risks, the President of the DRC has called for the establishment of a waste management program. This program will generate resources in the form of an eco-royalty, thus offering an additional source of revenue to the Congolese government to finance other investment projects. The system that will be put in place will allow the DRC to recover its eco-royalties, currently collected by international suppliers when selling electronic equipment to importers. This program is developed in accordance with the 1989 Basel Convention of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). The program is more than necessary to meet these environmental, health and economic challenges.

In this hard-hitting article, we highlight the urgency of the firefighting situation in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The many fires that have ravaged the city in recent years have revealed the shortcomings and powerlessness of these services. Ill-equipped and under-funded, firefighters in Kinshasa face major difficulties: rare fire-fighting vehicles in poor condition, lack of protective suits and boots, absence of fire hydrants and essential rescue equipment. . This situation highlights the lack of a fire prevention and firefighting policy in the city. Urban markets in Kinshasa, in particular, are particularly vulnerable, with wooden stalls and precarious shacks that encourage fires. It is therefore urgent that the authorities take measures to provide firefighting services with adequate resources, improve firefighting infrastructure and implement a more rigorous prevention policy. In addition, it is crucial to raise public awareness of the safety measures to adopt in the event of a fire. Fire safety is a major issue for the dense and dynamic city of Kinshasa and it is essential to take drastic measures to protect the life and property of the inhabitants.
