He also assured that his DCE together with NADMO, Forestry Commission has decided to set up a task force to monitor perpetrators.

Meanwhile, Abusuapanin Osei Berko of the area on his part bemoaned the trend and appealed to government to immediately resource the fire and management agency  in the area to deal with any outbreak

”We shouldn’t be told that when we set fire into the forest it will destroy vegetative cover. When there are no roots for plants to support the rocks, a little rain will fall. We need the government to help us immediately with fire tenders so that when we see these things we can quickly respond to it.If Mpraeso had fire tenders as at the time we caled then they would have responded positively.NADMO and the Fire Service and even the Forestry must be resourced to be ablle to contain the spread of the fires”.

”I have been here for 50 years ,these fires mostly start by the roadside.It could be that either smokers or some persons delberately set up the fires to destroy the vegetation”.
