According to the Divisional Officer II and Public Relations Officer of the GNFS, Desmond Ackah the Service is collaborating with market authorities to strengthen fire safety, particularly in areas with wooden infrastructure, which are more susceptible to fire outbreaks.

Smartphones could now get more expensive in the US
Americans are bracing for a price shock thanks to President Trump’s tariffs. The vast majority of our consumer electronics are imported. It’s been the talk of the tech industry for months now. In the lead-up to January’s CES, the massive expo held every year in Las Vegas, the Consumer Technology Association put out an eye-popping estimate: smartphones could soon cost Americans about $213 more, on average — a hike of more than 25%.
