The General Directorate of Civil Defence under the Ministry of Interior has appreciated the support and cooperation of Consolidated Gulf Company (CGC) in ensuring the safety and security of people in Qatar. 

Major Hussain Aman Al Ali, Assistant Director of the Fire Prevention Department under Civil Defence, presented an appreciation certificate to Tawfeeq Salem, CFO, CGC, at his office in Doha recently in recognition of CGC’s contribution to their safety efforts.   

Being the MoI-authorised service provider for the Central Alarm Monitoring System (CAMS) for safety and security alarm communications, CGC has played a key role in connecting vital locations and establishments to the National Command Centre, Civil Defence and the Telecom Department. The company has been working with the Fire Prevention Department to extend the alarm system across all the premises and locations which are required to have Civil Defence approval for safety measures.

Major Hussain Ali stated, “The agenda of CAMS is to facilitate easy and quick communication of any emergency situation or an accident, thereby ensuring maximum support to incident site with faster response. With the efforts by CGC, Civil Defence hopes to have the target achieved at the earliest.”

Tawfeeq Salem thanked Civil Defence for their appreciation and guidance. He said, “We are committed to meet the expectation of the Civil Defence and the MoI with unmatched support to achieve safety standards. Besides offering the CAMS fire safety and security systems under their authorisation, we today serve our valued clients with a range of turnkey and technology solutions, including audiovisual, CCTV, Cisco, TETRA, IT and ITeS, and engineering solutions, meeting their customised needs.”
