Tue, 24 Dec 2024 Source: Mercy Mensah

The Ghana National Fire Service is currently responding to two simultaneous fire outbreaks in the Greater Accra Region. The fires are located at Kwashieman and the Saglemi Housing Project.

Firefighters are working tirelessly to bring both situations under control. The Ghana National Fire Service has dispatched teams to both locations to combat the fires and prevent them from spreading.

The cause of the fires is not yet known, but the Ghana National Fire Service is investigating the incidents. The service has urged residents in the affected areas to remain calm and to follow the instructions of firefighters.

The Ghana National Fire Service has been working to prevent and manage fire outbreaks in the country. The service has conducted public fire safety education and vigorous fire safety audits and inspections of public and commercial buildings.

Despite these efforts, Ghana has experienced a significant number of fire outbreaks in recent years. The country recorded over 5,500 fire outbreaks by November this year, with harsh weather conditions, non-compliance with fire safety measures, and electrical faults being some of the main causes.

The Ghana National Fire Service has appealed to the public to be vigilant and to report any fire outbreaks promptly. The service has also urged residents to take steps to prevent fires, such as ensuring that electrical appliances are properly maintained and that flammable materials are kept away from heat sources.

The Ghana National Fire Service is committed to protecting lives and property from fires. The service is working closely with other emergency services and stakeholders to ensure that fires are responded to quickly and effectively.

As the situation develops, the Ghana National Fire Service will provide updates on the status of the fires and any other relevant information. In the meantime, residents are advised to remain calm and to follow the instructions of firefighters.
