The Fire Service Ladies Association (FISLA) has
been urged to educate women on fire safety in general and domestic fire safety
in particular.
Mr Henry Ametefe, Deputy Volta Regional Minister,
gave the advice at the inauguration of the Region Branch of the Association in
Ho.
It was on the theme: “Enhancing Fire Safety
Activities -The Role of FISLA.”
Mr Ametefe urged the Association to visit the
markets and link up with other associations of women to educate them on the
rudiments of fire prevention and control at home, market, workplaces and public
places.
Mr Ametefe called on FISLA to spearhead a
programme to encourage institutions, including the business community, to
install firefighting equipment and get their staff and workers to master the
use of the gadgets.
He observed that the public is largely ignorant
about how to operate fire extinguishers on public and private premises and,
therefore, become helpless in tackling small fires which then assume dangerous
dimensions.
In a speech read on his behalf, the Regional Fire
Officer, Assistant Chief Fire Officer Kru Agyarko-Attobrah, commended the
Firewomen for their resilience, dedication and perseverance.
