The National Fire Authority has plans to set up a fire station within the Korolevu area on the Coral Coast.

A fire broke out at the Naviti Resort last Thursday and it took firefighters from Sigatoka twenty five minutes to reach the resort .

NFA Chief Executive John O Connor says a fire station on the Coral Coast could be an option to reduce the extent of damage to buildings and properties in the vicinity.

Firefighters will also provide fire drill training to resort staff of Naviti and Warwick.
