Ambrose Dery (M) with the Ashanti Regional GNFS Commander and Chief Director, Interior Ministry <\/strong><\/p>\n

THE MINISTER of Interior, Ambrose Dery has stated that an order has been placed for the purchase of two new fire engines with aerial ladders that could reach 10-storey buildings in the retooling investment in the internal security services.<\/p>\n

The engines, he said, are to complement existing ones which are nearing retirement after they were procured in 2004 for the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS).<\/p>\n

Addressing personnel of the service in Kumasi as part of his working visit to the Ashanti Region, the Minister indicated that the hydraulic platforms will allow firefighters to work from a higher height than the current appliances.<\/p>\n

According to him, the retooling package includes personal protective equipment to enable personnel protect lives and properties by promptly responding to fire emergencies and accidents in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou play a very significant role in the security system of this country. You manage and prevent fires. I am happy to hear that you used to have 95 fire cases per month in this region and now it is 23 fire cases per month. Congratulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI want to believe that it is the education that you give. It is the preventive strategies that you pursue,\u201d and added that personnel are yet to have appropriate apparel since the inception of fire service in this country.<\/p>\n

Mr Dery said that the Ministry was working towards getting the GNFS the needed equipment for them to work assiduously and effectively for the interest of the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore President Akufo-Addo came to power, the highest your fire equipment could go is a five-storey building. So you can imagine what happened to me when there was a fire on the 10th floor of parliament\u2019s job 600 house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I am trying to say is that it is very tedious for you to go to that level without equipment. This should be a thing of the past,\u201d the Interior Minister said. <\/p>\n

Mr Dery said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government led by President Akufo-Addo has interest in the welfare of security personnel, and has accordingly asked the fire service\u2019s council to work comprehensively to see how government can make fire officers also have similar conditions as other security agencies.<\/p>\n

On cap 30, the Minister told the officers that, under the authority of the President, \u201cno security agencies will be taken out of cap 30. Your rent allowances have been paid. And if you go to your headquarters now, we have begun acquiring vehicles and equip the commands,\u201d he stated in delight of the personnel.<\/p>\n

The Minister said President Akufo-Addo appreciated all officers of the security agencies and had asked him to thank them for the good work \u201cyou are doing, but for us in Ashanti, we need to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n

He averred that the fire service is an elite agency throughout the world, and that it is government\u2019s desire to raise the country\u2019s service to that level.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has given you unprecedented recruitment approval to recruit 1,000 new personnel. Every district wants a fire station and we want to cope with that. This is not to say I am promising you one district one fire station,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
