Electrical wiring in all government bungalows and public places built over thirty years ago are to be assessed and rewired.
This is in compliance with a Presidential directive to the Fire Service to focus on fire prevention rather than fire-fighting.
President Mills gave the directive when he presented 54 fire tenders and over a thousand fire-fighting apparels and gadgets to the service.
According to government, the equipment, valued at 49 million dollars, is the largest consignment ever received by the service since its establishment forty-eight years ago.
Chairman of the Fire Service Board Alhaji Amadu Sorogo said some public building were in such inaccessible locations that it would be impossible to fight fire there.
He said all buildings with low quality wires have to be rewired.
