GNFS, GWL inspect fire hydrants in Ministries enclave; 23 found faulty
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has identified 23 non-functional fire hydrants within the Ministries enclave in Accra following an inspection conducted in collaboration with Ghana Water Limited (GWL).
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and Ghana Water Limited (GWL) have inspected fire hydrants in the Ministries enclave in Accra, discovering 23 that were non-functional. The inspection, part of a proactive initiative by the GNFS and GWL, was carried out by the Greater Accra Regional Fire Command. Out of 30 hydrants examined, only five were fully operational with high water pressure, two had low water pressure, while the remaining 23 were non-functional.
This lack of adequate water supplies for firefighting raises concerns about emergency preparedness. The Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) was found to have no fire hydrant on its premises. Regional Fire Officer, ACFO II Rashid Nisawu advised CAGD to work with GNFS and GWL to install a fire hydrant. The inspection covered key government institutions, including SIGA, SSNIT, Ministries of Transport, Roads and Highways, Energy and Finance, GRA, GHS, NLA, the Court Complex and the Accra Sports Stadium.
