Adaklu Ahunda Welcomes a Fire Post
Through the hard work and determination of the chief and residents of Adaklu Ahunda, a fire post has been built in Adaklu Ahunda.
On Wednesday, May 22, 2024, the Regional Fire Commander commissioned a fire post in Adaklu Ahunda, aiming to combat fire outbreaks and safeguard lives and properties within the Adaklu Ahunda community.
Regional Fire Commander, ACFO1 Joy Ameyibor Ayim, remarked that in 2022, Adaklu Ahunda inaugurated Fire Volunteers to bolster fire prevention efforts in the district. The commissioning of the new fire post was celebrated by the chief, Queen Mother, District Chief Executive (DCE), and fire officers.

Torgbe Asamoah IV, Divisional Chief of Adaklu Ahunda, highlighted the necessity of the fire post due to the community’s location along a trunk road frequented by fuel tankers and other hazardous materials.
He thanked the community for their tireless efforts in turning this vision into reality and extended appreciation to the regional fire commander for deploying three fire officers to the new post.
The Divisional Chief encouraged the community to maintain their spirit of development.
