Nsawam Fire Station intensifies safety education

As part of an ongoing safety campaign, officers from the Nsawam Fire Station have shared fire safety messages with the public to reduce the frequency of fire outbreaks and enhance fire prevention in markets and homes.

The officers focused on topics such as the proper handling of mosquito coils, candles, and general safety tips for the home.

They also addressed practices observed in markets, such as cooking and burning of refuse, emphasizing the importance of extinguishing fires completely if cooking in the market becomes necessary.

The team touched on the significance of keeping matches and lighters out of reach of children at home and discouraged illegal electrical connections, using worn-out wires and overloading of sockets.

The participants were encouraged to acquire fire extinguishers and learn how to use them effectively to tackle small fires and were given emergency fire contact numbers.
