The Professionals Forum of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said that it is deeply concerned about the manner the Ghana Fire Service handled the recent fire outbreak at the Kantamanto Secondhand Market.

The market's central location makes it a high-risk area.
According to the Proforum, it is unacceptable that the Ghana Fire Service was not better prepared to respond to this emergency. "Despite the critical nature of their role, the Ghana Fire Service failed woefully in their response to the fire, resulting in the destruction of properties and livelihoods.
