Kumasi: One injured, shops destroyed in Atasemanso fire in Kumasi

One person has been injured, and a pregnant woman left homeless after a fire destroyed four container shops and two rooms at Atasemanso in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital.

Mr Arhin Mensah also urged the public to cooperate with fire officers during the exercise, as the Service steps up efforts to enforce safety requirements and reduce the risk of further incidents.

Arthur Arhin Mensah, the command's Public Relations Officer, said officers would conduct patrols during the day and at night to improve surveillance and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
