Fire officers drawn from the Maintenance Department at the Headquarters, Greater Accra, and Tema Regions have been trained on the use of the latest On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) machine that detects faults on vehicles and proffer solutions to the specific fault.
The OBD II is the latest of its kind in Ghana and it would help identify and replace specific faulty parts of the vehicles belonging to the Service.
A statement issued by the Ghana National Fire Service and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said the training targeted 11 maintenance officers who were equipped with the capabilities of the machine to detect faults in the service appliances.
‘With this tool, technicians can swiftly identify and address issues before they escalate, ensuring that our fleet of vehicles remain in peak condition and ready to respond to emergencies at a moment’s notice.
‘We are the first Security Agency to acquire it for our light and heavy-duty vehicles,’ it stated.
