Fire Service officer jumps from 3rd floor, breaks arm, legs during rescue

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has reported that one of its officers jumped from the third floor of a building to the ground, which resulted in the breaking of his hands and legs during a rescue.

The Ghana National Fire Service Director of Public Affairs, Timothy Osafo Affum, said in an interview on Onua TV/FM on Wednesday, January 11, 2023.

“While they were fighting the fire, portions of the building collapsed, so he jumped from the third floor to the ground.

“As a result, his legs and hands have been broken but by God’s grace, he is receiving treatment at the Korle-Bu Hospital,” Mr. Osafo-Affum said. 

The said building was brought down by the fire on Tuesday evening, January 10, 2023, around 10:00pm on the Accra Graphic road.

However, the cause of the fire is still unknown.
