The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has expressed concern about the lack of fire extinguishers in most vehicles, which results in destruction of some vehicles on the road during fire outbreaks.
The Service, in collaboration with the National Road Safety Authority, conducted an exercise on 70 vehicles in Ho Township, and 98 per cent of the vehicles were not having fire extinguishers.
Two per cent of the vehicles who were having fire extinguishers could not also operate them.
Deputy Chief Fire Officer (DCFO), Joy Ayim Ameyibor, Volta Regional Commander, GNFS, who disclosed this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency said fire extinguishers formed important part of every vehicle on the road.
