The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has marked the official start of construction for the Nana Sasu IV Fire Station in Akim Oda with a sod‑cutting ceremony.
According to the Service, the new fire station is expected to significantly enhance emergency response and improve public safety across the Birim Central Municipality and surrounding communities.
The event was led by DOII Kwesi Hughes of the Akim Oda Fire Station and brought together key stakeholders, including ACFO I Timothy Osafo‑Affum and officers from the Eastern Regional Command, Birim Central Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Solomon Brako, and representatives from the Police Service, National Inteigence Bureau (NIB) Immigration Service, clergy, traditional leaders, and the Nana Sasu IV Secretariat.
The ceremony featured prayers and a symbolic sod‑cutting performed by traditional leaders and clergy, formally launching the project.
Construction of the facility has commenced and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
The Service further noted that once finished, the station will serve as a major boost to emergency service delivery in Akim Oda, strengthening the GNFS’s capacity to handle fire and rescue operations in the region.
