The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in the Ashanti Region is ramping up fire safety education in several communities to enhance fire prevention and emergency readiness among citizens. The initiatives targeted Jacobu, Boamang, Amoako and Oforikrom, where fire safety teams engaged residents, traders, food vendors, artisans and business operators in crucial safety training.
Topics covered included electrical safety, handling of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), proper cooking practices and the safe utilization of heat-generating equipment.
As part of their outreach, GNFS teams championed the "Operation One House, One Fire Extinguisher/Fire Sticker" program and demonstrated the PASS method for using fire extinguishers effectively. The service also leveraged local radio stations, Boss 93.7 FM and Ash 101.1 FM, to communicate key messages about the urgency of reporting fire emergencies promptly, discouraging prank calls, and providing guidance on how to reach the service.
Residents were encouraged to prioritize fire prevention measures within their homes, workplaces, and businesses.
