Personnel from the Kasoa Fire Station undertook a heroic rescue mission at the Mary Star International School in Kasoa Washing Bay-Ngleshie Amanfro following a heavy downpour on Monday, May 13, 2024.
The incident occurred after school hours, trapping pupils who were still on the school premises due to the floodwaters.
Thanks to the swift action of the firefighters, the children were rescued safely and reunited with their parents.
The firefighters’ timely intervention was crucial in ensuring the safety of the children, and their efforts are commendable.
In a separate incident, the Kasoa stretch experienced heavy traffic congestion on the same day, following the downpour around 4 pm. The unusual congestion was caused by silt and filth washed onto the road by the rain, blocking some roads and hindering vehicle movement.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Meteorological Agency has predicted mostly cloudy weather across all sectors of the country today, with a likelihood of isolated slight rain in the early hours of the morning.
Misty conditions are expected to form over the forest and hilly areas, with a possibility of late afternoon into evening thunderstorms or rain over the forest, transition, and northern belts.
