GNFS blamed for poor response to Kumasi court fire

The building  engulfed in smoke during the fire outbreak
A registrar at the Kumasi circuit court, Mrs Mary Osei, in response to the currently fire outbreak at their court chambers, has slapped the Ghana National Fire Service ( G.N.F.S ) for it's poor response towards their call to quench the fire which led to the destruction of some dockets and documents few days ago.

She disclosed this to journalist that, although, the cause of the fire is not clear now but, “the response from the emergency personnel as to which the fire started was very poor”.

Mrs. Osei also added that, as they picked the phone to call the personnel, it took them more time before their arrival, even after their arrival at the scene, the personnel claimed that the rope to be connected to the water tanker was too short to be used”, she added.

Mrs. Osei, further stated that, they could have quenched the fire before it got out of hand, but due to negligence, poor resources and bad attitude of the personnel, the flames got higher.

The circuit court registrar therefore, appealed to the government, to put measures across to overcome such situations as soon as possible.
