Jackie Appiah’s incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of life and the importance of fire safety measures.
Amidst widespread criticism directed at the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) for their delayed response, I firmly believe they are not to blame. Recently, the GNFS has repeatedly voiced their concerns over the government’s lack of investment in their essential services. They have informed the government about the insufficient number of fire tenders and stations.

Given Accra’s vibrant and bustling nature, it is crucial for the city to have multiple fire stations strategically located to ensure swift responses to emergencies, rather than firefighters traveling from distant districts. Additionally, there have been instances where senior officers had to personally fund fuel expenses before attending to fire scenes, with some firefighters arriving in hired taxis at fire scenes!

It’s so unfortunate that Jackie Appiah, who invested millions of dollars and over 15 years in building her dream home, has lost it all within just two years of living there. The need for better infrastructure and resources for the GNFS cannot be overstated.
