The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) is preparing to roll out the Automated Fire Compliance and Safety System (AFCAS) in a bid to enhance service delivery, streamline regulations, and boost firefighting measures nationwide. This digital platform will streamline applications for fire permits, certificates, and equipment tagging.
Stakeholders, including homeowners, business owners, and commercial property managers, are urged to submit their applications online via AFCAS. The GNFS emphasizes compliance with Regulation 1 and 2 of L.I. 1724 (as amended), indicating a need for fire permits before construction and fire certificates post-completion. The GNFS also encourages the public to only purchase fire safety equipment with official GNFS-AFCAS tags from licensed Fire Protection Contractors.
Fire equipment procurement departments must engage GNFS-AFCAS Licensed Fire Protection Contractors for installation. Imported fire equipment will be tagged at entry points, while existing equipment must be tagged within six months of the system's implementation. An information brochure on the AFCAS platform offers comprehensive guidance on the application process, objectives, and operational procedures, urging full stakeholder cooperation for nationwide safety improvement.
