The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) officially launched its 2024/2025 National Bush Fire Prevention Campaign on Friday, November 15, at the National Headquarters in Accra.
The campaign, themed “Effective Bush Fire Prevention: Stakeholder’s Role in Ensuring a Greener Tomorrow,” emphasizes the need for collective efforts to protect farmlands and natural vegetation from bushfires, a growing environmental concern in Ghana.
The event was graced by the Special Guest of Honour, Henry Quartey, the Minister for the Interior, alongside government officials, members of the Fire Service Council, and representatives from Fire Aid UK.
A lively skit by the Fire Volunteer Group from the Nsawam Municipality also highlighted the importance of bushfire prevention in a creative and engaging way.
This launch underscores the GNFS’s dedication to environmental conservation and public safety, urging all stakeholders to actively participate in safeguarding the country’s green resources for future generations.
