Firefighters from the Konongo Odumasi and Ejisu Fire Stations in the Ashanti Region narrowly escaped a mob attack while responding to an emergency.
According to the report, this is the third time they have been nearly attacked for responding late to a fire outbreak within the municipality.
Speaking to Adom News, the Konongo Divisional Fire Service Commander, DOII Joe Bryden, stated that they received a distress call from Odumasi Suntreso.
However, they could not respond swiftly because their fire tender had broken down and had not been functional for about two months.
As a result, they had to call the Ejisu Fire Station for assistance.
Upon arrival, the angry mob began yelling and pelting stones at them, causing damage to the windscreen, headlights, and other parts of the fire tender.
The Konongo Odumasi Fire Station, located in the Asante Akyem Central Municipality, serves four other nearby districts in the Ashanti Region.
