A major fire has torn through the Tema Heavy Industrial Area, particularly behind Ferro Fabrik Ltd.

The fire engulfed multiple wooden structures, prompting an urgent response from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), which deployed seven fire tenders to the scene to see to it that things were under control.

Firefighting teams, according to reports, worked intensively to contain the fire as of the dawn of Thursday, June 19.

Senior officers, including the regional commander, operations officer, and district commanders, were on-site supervising the operations to bring the situation under control.
