Korle Klottey MP calls for more rescue equipment after Odawna fire
Zenator Agyeman-Rawlings, the Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey, called for increased investment in rescue equipment for security agencies following the fire outbreak at the Odawna rubber factory amid Monday's devastating floods. She stated, "There are people who are trapped, and we are limited with the equipment that we have. We just brought some ropes and some extra life jackets, but it's not enough."
The MP expressed concern over limited resources available to emergency responders, noting the shortage of equipment was hampering rescue efforts. She stressed the need for the country to shift from reacting to disasters to investing in preparedness, stating, "I think we need to get past the point of being reactive. We need to be pre-emptive." Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service and other emergency responders are battling a fire at the Odawna rubber factory and conducting rescue operations in flood-affected communities. Heavy rains on Monday triggered widespread flooding in parts of Accra, submerging roads, stranding commuters, and complicating emergency response efforts.
