GNFS launches automated platform for fire permits, certificates and equipment tagging

The GNFS further directed procurement departments of property managers, commercial property operators, institutions, businesses and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to engage only GNFS-AFCAS licensed Fire Protection Contractors for the installation of fire alarms, extinguishers and other fire safety equipment.

The public has also been advised to purchase only fire extinguishers and other fire safety equipment bearing official GNFS AFCAS tags from licensed Fire Protection Contractors.

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has opened the Automated Fire Compliance and Safety System (AFCAS) to the public as part of efforts to digitise fire safety administration and strengthen regulatory compliance nationwide.
