The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has raised alarm about the lack of fire stations in the country.
The GNFS particularly bemoaned the absence of one in the East Legon area of Accra.
This concern follows a tragic accident in which two vehicles caught fire, resulting in the deaths of two individuals.
According to ADO1 Alex King Nartey from the GNFS Public Relations Department, it took approximately 15 minutes for a fire truck to arrive at the scene from the Madina Fire Station, a delay mitigated by relatively light traffic conditions.
