According to him, the command is collaborating with the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) and the National Security to track, arrest and prosecute persons engaging in such activities. The Ashanti Region has recorded 71 cases of fire outbreaks from the beginning of January 2020 with majority being domestic fires. The Ashanti Regional Command of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has attributed the positive public response to firefighting to its continuous sensitization and pledged to do more to reduce fire incidents.
