The Minister for the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has assured the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) of the government’s firm commitment to resolving critical logistical and equipment challenges facing the Service. 

His statement came during the Passing Out Parade of Recruit Course 55 held at the Fire Academy and Training School in Jamestown, Accra – a ceremony that marked the formal entry of new recruits into active service.

Addressing the gathering of new officers, dignitaries, and officials, Hon. Muntaka emphasized that the responsibility of fire prevention and emergency response was no longer optional or marginal to national priorities.

He highlighted recent market fires as a wake-up call and a clear indication that fire safety must become an integral part of Ghana’s public safety strategy.

The Minister’s assurance of logistical support followed persistent calls from the GNFS leadership in recent months for renewed attention to “operational deficiencies affecting response efficiency.”

While acknowledging the hurdles, the Minister urged the personnel to maintain their high standards of service in protecting lives and properties, assuring them that the government was working to address the logistical and equipment challenges.

In spite of these challenges, the GNFS has managed to register a modest but notable decline in fire incidents across the country. Hon. Muntaka praised the Service for achieving a 2.3 percent reduction in reported fire cases in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

The newly passed-out recruits were also commended for successfully completing the rigorous training programme and were reminded of the high expectations of integrity, professionalism, and unwavering dedication that society places on public safety officers.

“Congratulations to all of you. Serve with patriotism, dignity, discipline, and commitment. Remain true to your noble calling and shun any conduct that may tarnish the image of the Service”

Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, Interior Minister

The Ghana National Fire Service continues to play a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of communities across the country, particularly during a period of rising population density, informal market expansion, and increased structural risks.

However, senior officers and sector experts have consistently pointed out the need for government intervention to upgrade aging equipment, boost the Service’s fleet of fire tenders, and expand access to modern firefighting technologies.

Hon. Muntaka’s acknowledgement of these systemic issues and reiteration of the administration’s intent to pursue pragmatic solutions, reflect a growing policy focus on strengthening first responder institutions under the current government.

At the passing out ceremony, recruits displayed practical firefighting drills, emergency response simulations, and salute parades, showcasing their newly acquired skills and readiness for national service.

The event was attended by top officials from the Ministry of the Interior, senior officers of the GNFS, families of the graduating recruits, and invited dignitaries.

For the graduates of Recruit Course 55, the occasion signified both an end and a beginning  – the end of months of intense training, and the beginning of a demanding career in service of the nation. 

As they now join the operational ranks of the GNFS, they do so in an environment marked by both hope and hurdles. Yet the Minister’s pledge offers a sign that institutional support may be strengthening at a critical time.

The Ghana National Fire Service, according to the Ministry of the Interior, remains central to the country’s civil protection framework. And with a new cohort of fire officers entering the field, the Service is poised for both rejuvenation and reform.
