The exercise revealed several operational challenges, including inadequate fire tenders, poor road networks leading to fire scenes, faulty hydrants, accommodation shortages for personnel, attacks on firefighters during emergency response operations, and insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE).
ACFO II Asamoah assured personnel that steps would be taken, in collaboration with National Headquarters and relevant stakeholders, to address the identified challenges. He emphasised the need for improved logistics and working conditions to enhance emergency response efficiency across the region. He further outlined a six-point vision aimed at strengthening the Command's operations, focusing on improving emergency response, enhancing logistics, promoting personnel development, intensifying public fire safety education, improving staff welfare, and enforcing discipline within the service.
