The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has clarified that its responsibilities extend beyond merely extinguishing fires.<\/p>\n

In an Eyewitness News<\/strong> interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Citi FM<\/strong> on Monday, the GNFS Public Relations Officer ADO 1 Alex King Nartey, explained that the service also performs tasks such as extricating people from vehicles during accidents.<\/p>\n

He further mentioned that the service is also responsible for rescuing individuals who fall victim to bee attacks and those who fall into manholes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to road traffic extrication, that\u2019s under the territory of the GNFS. So, whenever there\u2019s an accident and people are trapped in the vehicle we don\u2019t call the police we call on the GNFS. So people limit us to [fire quenching].<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Kwame Eugene\u2019s accident happened, for instance, our men were the ones who went to do the extrication to get him out of the debris. We are trained and have specialised equipment that cuts and extricates people safely. You might think you are helping pull someone out but you might end up killing the person because then you might damage the spine.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWhen there\u2019s bee attack in your house, fire service are the ones you call. When someone falls into a manhole, the fire service is the one to call. When a building collapses on people, the fire service is the one to call,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
