The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has once again demonstrated its commitment to public safety by swiftly rescuing school children trapped at the Mary Star International School in Kasoa Washing Bay-Ngleshie Amanfro after a heavy downpour on Monday, May 13, 2024.
The rescue operation was necessitated by the floodwater that trapped pupils who were still on the school premises after school hours.
The firefighters, from the Kasoa Fire Station, acted promptly to ensure the safe rescue of the children, reuniting them with their parents.
This commendable effort by the GNFS highlights the importance of their role in ensuring the safety and well-being of citizens, especially during challenging situations such as heavy rainfall and flooding.
In a related development, the Kasoa stretch experienced heavy traffic congestion on the same day, following the downpour around 4 pm. The unusual congestion was caused by silt and filth washed onto the road by the rain, blocking some roads and hindering vehicle movement.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Meteorological Agency has predicted mostly cloudy weather across all sectors of the country today, with a likelihood of isolated slight rain in the early hours of the morning.
Misty conditions are expected to form over the forest and hilly areas, with a possibility of late afternoon into evening thunderstorms or rain over the forest, transition, and northern belts.
