On July 28th, 2025, the dedicated team from the Aburi Fire Station, Akuapim South, led by DOII Mavis A. Ayamga, visited St. Elisabeth’s Home (formerly Lighthouse Christian Children’s Home) in Jamaisco–Odumabrade to conduct a Fire Safety Education session for our children and staff.

This visit was part of the Ghana National Fire Service’s ongoing community outreach to equip homes, schools, and organizations with life-saving fire prevention skills.

 What We Learned

The session was both interactive and practical, empowering everyone with essential knowledge to prevent and respond to fires. The officers covered key safety topics, including:

• Basics of fire prevention at home
• Common causes of fires in households and offices
• Live demonstration on using fire extinguishers
• Practical “Stop, Drop & Roll” drill for personal safety

The children participated enthusiastically, eager to learn how to protect themselves and their surroundings in case of an emergency.

Special Thanks to Our Heroes

We extend heartfelt gratitude to the entire team from the Ghana National Fire Service for their time, dedication, and passion for safety education.

Officers Present:

• DOII Mavis A. Ayamga
• ADOI Philomina Antwi
• ADOI Gordon Nuamah
• FM Benjamin Amoani

Their visit was a timely reminder that fire safety is everyone’s responsibility—and that awareness saves lives.

At St. Elisabeth’s Home, we are committed to nurturing not only the spiritual and emotional growth of our children but also their practical knowledge for everyday life. Thanks to the Ghana National Fire Service, our home is now better prepared to prevent and handle fire-related emergencies.

Remember: In case of fire, dial 112 — the Ghana National Fire Service emergency line.
