GNFS Advocates For Joint Efforts To Ensure Safety Of Lives and Properties In the Western Region
Fire outbreaks have long been a recurring challenge, posing threats to lives and property across the country.
Recognizing the gravity of this issue, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has made it a core mission to educate the public about fire safety measures and sustain them.
During an interview on Beach FM’s Western Echo program with Arafat Musah, ADO II Afua Pongo, of the Public Relations Office at the Ghana National Fire Service’s Western Command, emphasized that fire prevention is a shared responsibility between the GNFS and the public.
She urged Ghanaians to place the same level of importance on fire safety as they do on security measures.
ADO II Afua Pongo stressed the need for individuals to take a proactive interest in fire safety and prevention, ensuring that the responsibility doesn’t solely rest on the GNFS.
Instead, she encouraged people to engage in basic first-aid fire control measures in case of fire emergencies, helping to mitigate potentially devastating fire outbreaks before the GNFS arrives on the scene.
Afua Pongo also provided essential guidance on what individuals should do to ensure fire safety both at workplaces and in their homes in the event of a fire outbreak.
She further urged the public to incorporate fire safety considerations into all aspects of their lives, to reduce the prevalence of fire incidents in communities.
