A devastating combination of floodwaters and fire tore through Accra, on the evening of June 3, 2015, claiming more than 150 lives.
The disaster, triggered by torrential rain and an explosion at the GOIL Filling Station near Kwame Nkrumah Circle, remains one of Ghana's deadliest tragedies.
Houses and properties running into billions of Ghana cedis were also destroyed.
Following the disaster, the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) and the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) initiated steps to check all fuel stations in the country to know whether owners of the stations were operating legally.
