The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has outlined ”bold steps” to protect major markets from fire outbreaks across the country.
According to a statement issued by the Service, the Chief Fire Officer, Julius A. Kuunuor, has directed that fire engines be deployed at various markets across the country from dawn to dusk daily to provide round-the-clock fire cover.
The GNFS also announced that a dedicated task force will patrol the markets daily to ensure swift action in case of any fire outbreaks and provide constant vigilance.
Fire units, the GNFS said, will be established in key markets across the country to intensify fire safety education, conduct inspections, and ensure compliance with fire safety protocols.
The statement added ”all GNFS personnel assigned to market protection duties will submit daily Situation Reports (SITREPS) to the national headquarters Operations (NHQ OPS INFO) platform at 0900 hours for further review and action.
The GNFS will work closely with market authorities, the Ghana Police service and National Security to ensure effective surveillance, protection, and quick response to any fire-related incidents.”
