As part of activities lined-up to mark this year’s Fire Safety Week and International FireFighters’ Day, the Ashanti Regional Fire Command conducted a simulation exercise at the new Kumasi Kejetia Market.
The simulation exercise was to test the response procedures of the region for fire and related emergency situations using applied training, testing inter- agency cooperation and effective coordination and identifying gaps, weaknesses and areas requiring further training.
