Invite Fire Service to your end of year parties – Ghana National Fire Service
The Station Officer 2 of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) headquarters, Michael Walter Okai has admonished the general public, especially corporate entities, to invite the Fire Service to come and train their personnel on firefighting techniques.
Mr. Okai made this appeal to the public in an interview with Berla Mundi on the New Day Show on TV3 Tuesday, December 22 with the theme: ‘Safety During Christmas.’
The Station Officer 2 at the Headquarters of the GNFS said: “you need to invite the Fire Service to your corporate End Of Year parties to train your workers on fire safety techniques during the festive seasons”.
Station Officer Michael Walter Okai of the GNFS said activities such as cooking in the markets could spark a fire.
He warned that many markets in the country are currently sitting on time bombs due to a lack of planning.
Separate fires have hit some markets across the country in recent weeks, sparking worry among the public.
Last week, the famous Kantamanto market was razed by fire, destroying goods worth thousands of cedis.
The Kaneshie Central Market in Accra was also gutted by fire in the late hours of Saturday, December 19, 2020.
“Proper segregation of markets will help avoid fire outbreaks. Most of the markets in Ghana are not built; they are formed unlike the Kaneshie market which has been used as a model to other markets,” Mr. Walter Okai told Accra-based 3FM.
