The fire that engulfed a room at the 12-floor Job 600 building at the State House in Accra, has completely been doused by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service. Books and documents stored in the affected room were destroyed, and officials of the GNFS say they may be able to salvage a few. It took three tenders and firemen about an hour and a half to douse the fire, which has caused the evacuation of the adjoining Parliament House. According to the Greater Accra Regional Commander of the Fire Service, ACFO 1 Roberta Agrey Ghanson, the GNFS received a distress call at about 9:30am and it took the fire teams no more than five minutes to arrive at the scene of fire. It was immediately unlear what caused the fire.
