The Ghana National Fire Service has advised the general public after the  Kintampo-Tamale Highway accident.

The service said drivers must conduct daily routine checks on their vehicles before moving them.

Speaking to Citi FM after the accident on the Kintampo-Tamale Highway in which at least 28 people were burnt beyond recognition, Divisional Officer II Ellis Robinson Okoe said drivers must always make sure their vehicles are functioning properly before moving them.

“Whenever you wake up in the morning you do what we call ……drill, it involves checking the level of oil in the vehicle, checking whether there is enough water in the vehicle and checking other things like the brake to ensure that they are functioning properly before the car is moved. You must also ensure that when you are moving the vehicle there is an extinguisher in the vehicle if there is an electrical fault it can result in a fire outbreak, apart from that you have to check your tyre….”
