Residents in Krofuom, a suburb of Kumasi, reportedly attacked a fire tender when a fire gutted a local television station, Trinity Television, and a church.
The firefighters were forced to escape the physical attacks by the infuriated residents as the fire swept through properties worth millions of cedis.
According to a report by myjoyonlin.com, it took the intervention of police officers to recall another fire tender to save the situation.
Two fire tenders reportedly moved to the scene, but the initial tender was attacked by aggrieved residents over delays in the firefighters' response time. "When they came, people started pelting them with stones, so they left to protect themselves.
