"In Kasoa and Weija, there are no functioning fire tenders available. Once a fire erupts, response vehicles must come from Budumburam or Anya Market. This delay poses a grave risk to residents and demands immediate attention," Nartey states.

He also highlights the absence of a fire station in prominent areas like East Legon, Adjiringanor, and East Legon Hills, where fire response vehicles must travel from distant locations like the University of Ghana or Madina during emergencies.
