NADMO
branch of UG sensitises drivers on disaster management
Accra, May 3, Ghanadot/GNA - Drivers were on Saturday to
asked to alert the Fire Service as soon as they detect fires
that are beyond their control in their vehicles.
"Whenever you detect any fire that you think you can not put
off by yourself, please do not hesitate to alert the Fire
Service since we do not charge for our services," advises
Mr. Evans Osei-Owusu, Assistant Divisional Office of the
Fire Service.
Speaking at a sensitisation programme organised by the
University of Ghana branch of the National Disaster
Management Organisation (NADMO), Mr Ose-Owusu said most fire
outbreaks occurred as a result of human errors.
He appealed to drivers to be very watchful whenever they
take their vehicles to the garage for servicing in order to
avoid fire disasters.
They should also desist from using gallons as fuel tanks in
their vehicles, he said.
He advised drivers to take defective exhaust pipes to the
appropriate garages to be fixed instead of using a cloth to
tie them together.
