The Ketu North Municipal Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), collaborated with the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) to educate some Basic School Pupils on fire safety.
This was part of an excursion organized by the NCCE for some Schools to the Ketu North Municipal Fire Station at Penyi. Firefighters took Pupils through theoretical knowledge and practical training on how to prevent, detect and put off fire with safety equipment.
The Ketu North Municipal Commander of GNFS, ADO1 Bright Kugblenu also engaged the Pupils in functions of the Ghana National First Service and also advised them not to make prank calls to fire service.“In case of fire outbreak, do not panic, take your time and give accurate directions for help,” he said.
Some of the students were allowed to view the fire truck, hold the nozzles and hose in excitement and also asked questions related to fire outbreak.
The Municipal Director of NCCE, Mr. Prosper Afealete commended officers of Ghana National Fire Service for their resilience efforts and dedication.
The Pupils include Penyi Anglican JHS, Penyi A.M.E Zion No2 JHS and Cry To The Bride Mission School- Penyi participated in the Fire Safety and Civic Education engagements.
