The Nkoranza Fire Command in the Bono East region has educated the populace about the safest means to utilize electrical appliances in order to avoid fire disasters.
The P.R.O of Nkoranza Fire Command, Sub officer Thomas Goer advised against connecting multiple gadgets to a single extension board- explaining that each extension board has its unique strength which must not be abused.
"People should watch and avoid connecting standing fans, Wufer, Tv, radio, among other gadgets to an extension board at the same time." he said.
Mr. Thomas Goer elaborated that if there is only one extension board, one gadget should be plugged in one at a time.
"This will help prevent explosions and avoidable fires" he told Sompa FM's morning show host, Owoahene Acheampong.
Speaking about whether or not to connect a fridge to an extension board, the safety officer hinted that fridges should be plugged directly to a wall socket and not to an extension board.
"Or it should be connected to a step down which is fastened to the main socket on the wall."
The fire officer touched on buildings with a single staircase which have no provisional emergency exit, mentioning that in cases of emergency, the situation can be disastrous.
To conclude, Mr. Thomas Goer urged citizens to memorize emergency service numbers and encouraged that fire disasters will be curbed if the people heed the given education.

The District Chief Executive of Nkoranza North, Hon. Peter Osei Fosu has bemoaned the dreadful consequences of galamsey and activities of Fulani herdsmen in the district.
In an exclusive interview on Sompa Nkoranza's maiden edition of the Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, the DCE clarified that some of the Fulani herdsmen migrated from Kintampo, Dawadawa, Bole, etc, and have encroached Nkoranza North posing security threats to the farmers in the community.
"When they come, I barely sleep. Our greatest security threat is the harmful activities of Fulani herdsmen. The menace which is prevalent at Bonte, Bomini, and its environs usually occurs between November and April." he told Owoahene Achaempong.
Hon. Osei Fosu revealed that measures have been put in place by stakeholders to get rid of all unscrupulous persons who are living on their land and causing harm.
Hon. Fosu continued to lament on how tedious his role as the District Chief Executive is especially as there are no funds to sponsor and complete developmental projects.
According to him, he will relentlessly strive to turn the situation around and will award contracts to responsible engineers and contractors to see to its completion.
"At the Assembly, I inherited 8 months of debt which was laborers' salary arrears. Where is the money? We always take risks. It is not easy" Mr. Fosu cried.
He concluded that it will be his greatest pride to complete all unfinished projects and commission them including projects at Kranka, Baafi, Yefri, and Busunya.
