The Chief Fire Officer (CFO) of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), Daniella Ntow-Sarpong, has assured the public that the fire outbreak at Adum in the Central Business District of the Ashanti Region has been successfully contained.
She emphasized that there is no cause for alarm as the situation remains under control.
Addressing concerns that the fire tenders dispatched to the scene lacked water, she dismissed the claims, explaining that firefighting requires continuous water supply due to the intensity of the work.
“The press should help us and encourage people to know that we don’t come to fire scenes when there is no water in the fire tenders. Who even said it is only water we use to quench fire? We have many things we use in quenching fires,” she stated.
