The Bono East Region has launched its annual anti-bush\u00adfire campaign at Kwame Danso in the Sene District capital with a call on residents to guard against the threat of bushfires to protect their environment, farms, communities and livelihoods.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cThe threat of bushfires cannot be under\u00adestimated due to the destruction it can cause to forests, grasslands, crops, wildlife habitats, ecosystems, water sources, wetlands, and soil quality, says the Bono East Regional Com\u00admander of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), Assistant Chief Fire Officer Grade Two (ACFO II), Rev. Naomi Ofori Adubea.<\/strong><\/p>\nSpeaking at the launch which coincided with the passing out of fire volunteers here at Kwame Danso on Monday, ACFO II Rev. Ofori Adubea said fire was a good servant when used in various forms including cooking food and the provision of heating system for homes but can also be a bad master that can cause damage to infrastructures such as bridges, powerlines, barns, livestock, crops, and farming equipment when used wrongly.<\/strong><\/p>\nShe said bushfires over the years have led to the loss of precious lives, injuries, air pol\u00adlution that often caused respiratory problems, mental health impacts (stress trauma).<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Bono East Regional Fire Command\u00ader said PNDC Law 229 of 1990 prohibits starting a bush fire, adding, that a person who contravened a provision of the Law shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both fine and imprisonment and urged residents not to fall foul of the law to inccur its wrath.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cAs we enter the dry season let us all make it a concerted effort to prevent and eliminate bush fires from our communities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nInaugurating the new fire volunteers on behalf of the Chief Fire Officer Julius Kuun\u00aduor, the Bono East Regional Fire Commander urged them to put to good use the knowledge and skills acquired from the training to enable them to protect the community from bush\u00adfires in order to protect lives and property.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0BY TIMES REPORTER<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bono East Region has launched its annual anti-bush\u00adfire campaign at Kwame Danso in the Sene District capital with a call on residents to guard against the threat of bushfires to protect their environment, farms, communities and livelihoods. \u201cThe threat of bushfires cannot be under\u00adestimated due to the destruction it can cause to forests, grasslands, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":250001,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-250000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
