Fire officers drawn from the Maintenance Department from the Headquarters, Greater Accra, and Tema Regions were taken through the use of the latest OBD II diagnostic machine at the Ghana National Fire Service National Headquarters in Accra.
The training which was targeted at eleven (11) officers sought to equip the Maintenance team with the latest diagnostic capabilities 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 remains in peak condition and ready to respond to emergencies at a moment’s notice.
The Director of Technical Services, DCFO Frances Rockson who addressed participants on behalf of the Chief Fire Officer, revealed that the acquisition of this cutting-edge diagnostic tool represented a pivotal step forward to streamlining the operations of the Maintenance Department, reducing downtime and ultimately saving valuable resources.
She added that in the coming months, additional diagnostic tools shall be systematically and progressively acquired to cater for every region in the Country and that this development will save the Service significant money by eliminating the need for costly vehicle repairs and error testing.
DCFO Rockson ended her submissions by urging the participants to treat the diagnostic tool with utmost care and diligence to maximize its lifespan and effectiveness.
In attendance was the Director of Logistics, DCFO Heroine Sekyere Boakye who thanked the resource persons for the valuable knowledge imparted and urged participants to take the training seriously to enable them to conduct comprehensive diagnostics and repairs on Service vehicles with unparalleled precision and accuracy.
