The Nsawam Fire station has approximately 70 personnel. It is the District Fire Station in charge of over 23 communities, across three regions. The station is currently a temporary wooden facility, built over 20 years ago.
Access to water had previously been a major challenge for the Fire Station as the fire officers sometimes had to travel for over 25km to find water. In 2015 the Blue Skies Foundation funded a mechanised borehole and dispensing platform to aid fire extinguishing activities. This has enabled fire fighters to keep their engines filled with water so they are always ready to deal with fires.
