The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has achieved a significant milestone in reducing fire outbreaks in the Central Region.
According to Assistant Chief Fire Officer (ACFO I) John Amarlai Amartey, the service has reduced fire outbreaks by 23% in the first quarter of this year compared to last year.
ACFO I Amartey made this revelation during the commemoration of International Fire Fighters’ Day in Cape Coast, where he led his team to mark the occasion. He attributed the significant reduction to the persistent education and awareness campaigns conducted by the service in the region.
