The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) rescued a fuel tanker driver and his colleague after the tanker they were traveling in overturned at Adubili Yili in Tamale. Firefighters from the Northern Regional Headquarters Sub-Station arrived quickly on the scene and discovered the tanker, carrying around 45,000 liters of diesel, had toppled over with the two occupants inside.
The GNFS crew immediately launched a rescue mission and managed to free the driver and his mate. Both victims were then handed over to the National Ambulance Service for medical assistance. To curb potential secondary accidents, firefighters took precautions to cool the tanker and prevent the spread of spilled diesel at the site.
Simultaneously, two buses collided in another incident nearby, with one crashing into a parked GNFS fire vehicle, damaging its air system. The GNFS personnel stayed on-site to handle the situation and minimize the risk of further mishaps.
