Juaso (Ash), Jan 13, GNA – The Asante-Akim South District
Office of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO)
has stepped up the fight to prevent wildfires in the area.
Mr Agyapong Boadi, District NADMO Coordinator, said the annual ritual of
destruction of farms and other property during the harmattan
through fires would have to end.
He said “Disaster Volunteer Groups” had already been formed
in the various communities for this goal.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Juaso, Mr Boadi said
NADMO would work closely with the Ghana National Fire Service
(GNFS) to ensure that the incidence of fire was significantly
curtailed.
He warned that those who started fires would be arrested and
brought to justice. ‘
