Kumasi, Feb 06 – Raging fire has
ravaged a number of container spare parts shops and two parked vehicles at the
Suame Roundabout in Kumasi.
It is reported to have started
from a wooden structure used as kitchen for the school feeding programme and
quickly spread to engulf the nearby shops and vehicles.
Mr. Semekor Fiadzo, the Ashanti
Regional Fire Officer, who confirmed this to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said
they received an emergency call in the early hours of Tuesday – between 0215
and 0220 hours.
They battled for about three
hours to contain the blaze because of the inaccessibility of the place.
He said their investigations
established that it was caused by a naked fire left unattended at the kitchen.
Food items for the feeding
programme, kept at the kitchen, were also completely destroyed.
Mr. Fiadzo reminded everybody to
heed fire safety education to prevent fire outbreaks.
