The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in the Savannah Region has intensified fire safety education and preventive measures to ensure a safe and fire-free Christmas season.
In Salaga, the Safety Department of the Fire Station took fire safety awareness to the airwaves, partnering with Kanyiti FM to educate listeners on fire prevention practices during the festive period. The initiative, led by Municipal Fire Commander DOII Norbert Adiale, was aimed at reaching a wider audience.
In Sawla, the Fire Station Safety Team conducted practical fire safety training for students of D/A Junior High School ahead of the Christmas break. Students were taught basic fire safety principles, how to use fire extinguishers effectively, and the “Stop, Drop and Roll” technique, accompanied by live demonstrations.
At Buipe, the Fire Safety Team, in collaboration with the Fire Safety Task Force, engaged traders at the Central Market and congregants of the Church of Pentecost. The team emphasized that fire safety is a shared responsibility and encouraged households to acquire fire extinguishers.
Meanwhile, the Damongo Municipal Fire Command intensified routine night market patrols to identify and eliminate potential fire hazards during and after the festive season.
These combined efforts highlight GNFS’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property through public education, community engagement, and proactive enforcement across the Savannah Region.
