GNFS battles major rubber factory fire at Circle as heavy rains hamper response
The Ghana National Fire Service is currently battling a serious fire outbreak at a rubber factory at Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra, amid heavy rainfall. Assistant Division Officer One (ADO1) Alex King Nartey of the Public Relations Department of the GNFS confirmed the incident, stating that four fire tenders have been deployed to the scene. He also revealed that another fire outbreak at a house at Sakaman Blue Lagoon had been successfully contained.
ADO1 Nartey noted that the heavy downpour has significantly hampered firefighting efforts, as personnel from Circle, who were responding to the Sakaman fire, were stranded at Kaneshie. He stated, "When the team got to Sakaman, they needed reinforcement, but when the Circle team moved, they were stranded at Kaneshie." Firefighters have also been deployed to various parts of Accra, particularly flood-prone areas, to carry out rescue operations.
