He praises also, the role played by all others who have contributed in founding Fire service during the sixties, later establishing  UAE Civil Defence in 1976, and caring in the following stages.. recognizing their developing efforts and pioneer initiatives, each according to the circumstantial and challenges he faced and achievements he added to become one of Civil Defence services development pillars, which have formed the base for our current and future developmental steps, allowing our services, performance and readiness to reached this advanced stage, we all proud of.

In order to achieve the above, Dubai Civil Defence should have its own culture to pinpoint its identity, objectives and strategy which it ultimately aims to achieve, based on which organizational structure is prepared, suitable employees are recruited, and appropriate administrative principles are implemented including: organization, recruitment, guidance, coordination, governance and finally to ensure employees are efficient before selected for the different posts, and their skills are deemed fit for carrying out required tasks.
