Seven personnel of the Ghana national fire service (GNFS), have been dismissed by the service for various offences, within the past ten months
The personnel, who include two females and of the honor ranks, were reported to have deserted their post for more than ten days and also absented themselves from work among others.
The Head of Public Relations of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), Divisional Officer Grader ii (DOII) Ellis Okoe Robinson, disclosed these to the Ghanaian times in Accra Tuesday.
He said the Administration of the GNFC would not shield any officer who goes contrary to the law.
DOII Robinson stated that some personnel have been awarded within the same period for their dedication and meticulous work to the GNFS.
The PRO said that it was against the service regulation for personnel to excuse him or herself from post for ten days without lawful permission.
DOII Robinson urged personnel to abide by the ethics of the profession to protect the image of the GNFS.
“The personnel should also farmiliarise themselves with the services rules and regulation, stating that the ignorance of the law is not an excuse,” he added.
Touching on fire safety issues, DO II Robinson assured the public of the services mandate to ensure that live and properties were protected.
He urged the public to make fire safety a priority at all times to reduce the menace of fire outbreaks in the country.
The head of PR appealed to the media to collaborate with the GNFS in its sensitization programmer to promote fie safety.
