According to the Western regional PRO of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the two got injured last Saturday (January 14, 2023) while fighting a fire which gutted a single dual-use structure containing two (2) rooms used for dwelling and electronic service workshop.

The service explains that “the flame-bathed single dual-use structure eventually gave in as a result of the protracted intense heat it suffered and collapsed on the duo front line firefighters, crashing their helmets and injuring them on their heads, upper and lower limbs”.

The GNFS said despite the injuries of the 2 Firefighters, the remaining crew members directly fought the fierce fire and brought it under control at 11:59pm  and finally knocked it out at 00:12 pm.
