Firefighters from the Anfoega and Kpando Fire Stations of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) successfully prevented a potential disaster after a petroleum tanker was involved in a road accident at Aveme Junction, Anfoega.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, the GNFS noted that the distress call came in at 5:06 a.m., reporting that the tanker, with registration number GT 5872\u201323, had veered off the road due to a brake defect.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the tanker was not carrying fuel at the time, the swift and coordinated action by the fire crews eliminated any risk of explosion.<\/p>\n

Firefighters secured the area, managed traffic flow, and worked with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to disconnect nearby low-voltage power lines, ensuring safety for road users and nearby residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tanker, which sustained damage to its diesel tank, bumpers, front right tyre, and headlights, was later towed to safety. <\/p>\n

The situation was brought under control, and the road was reopened shortly afterward.<\/p>\n
