All our fire tenders are aged: GNFS cries out for equipment following Kumasi blazes

Speaking on the Ghanakoma morning show on Akoma 87.9 FM in Kumasi with Sir John on Monday, October 12, 2026, to address fire outbreaks recorded in Kumasi from October 9 to October 11, 2026, the Ashanti Regional Public Relations Officer of the GNFS, DOIII Arhin Atta Mensah, said ageing fire engines continue to break down during operations, placing both firefighters and victims at greater risk, especially during large-scale disasters.
