Training has started for employees at the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) and Town Councils in Region Six to become part of the mobile firefighting unit.

The Department of Public Information (DPI) said on Friday that the initiative aims to train at least four employees from the local organs to become auxiliary firefighters.

The training will build the capacity of these local authorities to respond to situations within the communities until the fire service arrives.
