About 5 fire service officers injured in Duayaw Nkwanta Fire Tender accident

The Duayaw Nkwanta fire tender of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) with registration number FS 448 involved in an accident on early Monday morning just around Techimantia in the Ahafo Region.

Although no one died, about 5 fire officers onboard the tender sustained minor injuries.

DO3 Simon Agyei Boamah told Soiree News on the phone that the Duayaw Nkwanta Fire tender was heading towards Techimantia to quench a fire where a tyre of the tender blasted resulting in the accident.

Fire officers onboard the tender who sustained minor injuries were sent to Duayaw Nkwanta Government Hospital for treatment have been discharged from the Duayaw Nkwanta Government Hospital.

DO3 Simon Agyei Boamah on the other hand urged motorists to co-operate with the GNFS to fight the incidence of fire outbreaks by abiding with the Service's preventive measures.

He expressed concerns about the attitude of some drivers, especially taxi drivers who intentionally obstruct the movement of tenders responding to emergency duties.

DO3 Simon Agyei Boamah said the serene should be respected at all cause but condemned non-government vehicles which abusively use it.

He called for the enforcement of laws on the usage of serene in the country to facilitate the work of Fire Service personnel, security Agents, and Ambulance operators.
