23 fire hydrants non-functional at Ministries enclave - GNFS
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has identified 23 non-functional fire hydrants at the Ministries enclave in Accra following an inspection conducted by the Greater Accra Regional Fire Command in collaboration with Ghana Water Limited (GWL).
A recent inspection conducted by the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and Ghana Water Limited (GWL) in the Ministries enclave revealed a concerning lack of fully functional fire hydrants. Out of approximately 30 hydrants, only five demonstrated adequate water pressure, while the remaining 23 were non-operational. The team also discovered that the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) had one hydrant on its premises despite the extensive search.
Regional Fire Officer ACFO II Rashid Nisawu expressed disappointment, urging the CAGD to collaborate with GNFS and GWL to install a fully functional hydrant. The inspection encompassed various government institutions within the enclave, including the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), Ministries of Transport, Roads and Highways, Energy and Finance, Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Ghana Health Service (GHS), National Lottery Authority (NLA), Court Complex, and Accra Sports Stadium.
GNFS emphasized that this proactive initiative aims to identify and repair non-functional hydrants prior to the fire season, ultimately enhancing emergency response capabilities and safeguarding the lives and properties of the community.
