The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has expressed worry over the general public obstruction during emergency situations.
The Service has implored the general public to at all times, give them the needed space to operate and deliver the best results when responding to emergencies such as fire, explosion, accident among others.
A statement signed by the Director of Public Relations of the GNFS, Timothy Osafo-Affum stressed that, “During accidents there is often spillage of fuel and other dangerous combustible substances. This could cause life threatening incidents such as explosions.”
“Heckling and invasion of work space of the fire officers during the performance of their mandates affects their psychological performance and decision making.
“These also tend to waste precious time need for firefighting and rescue operation since the officers have to manage crow control, ” the statement warned.
