A raging fire on the Agbogba to Ritz Junction Road near Madina, Accra, has destroyed multiple wooden and container structures, leaving several businesses and homes in ruins.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) swiftly responded to the blaze, battling difficult conditions to bring the inferno under control.
According to Alex King Nartey, a spokesperson for the GNFS, the flammable nature of the structures contributed to the rapid spread of the fire. "It's a lot of wooden and container structures planted together, so it made the spread of the fire much easier," he explained.
The fire partially burnt at least 12 structures, but firefighters were able to save over 50 nearby buildings, preventing further damage.
