The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has expressed worry over the absence of fire tenders in Weija and Kasoa.

According to the Fire Service, the lack of fire tenders in these areas could pose significant challenges in the event of a fire outbreak, potentially putting lives and property at risk.

The Public Relations Officer at the Ghana National Fire Service, ADO1 Alex King Nartey, stressed the pressing need for government intervention to address this issue urgently.

He insisted on the critical importance of having fire tenders readily available in Weija and Kasoa, describing the current situation as a potential threat to the nation's safety.

“In Kasoa and Weija for instance, there is no fire tender there because all the fire tenders are out of commission. So once there is a fire at Kasoa, the car comes either from Budumburam or Anya Market. And they are sitting on a time bomb as a nation.

“So we would ask that attention should be placed on that. And in a big area like East Legon, Adjiringanor, East Legon Hills, there is no single fire station there. So when there’s a fire, their vans move from the University of Ghana or Madina to go to fight the fire there.”
