Fire has destroyed several shops and goods at the Madina market. The inferno which started at about 9 pm on Wednesday, April 10, was still ragging at about half past midnight.
Despite initial difficulties breaking into the shops, personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service were able to douse the fire.
Deputy Director of Operations at the Ghana National Fire Service, D.O.1. Kofi Forson, told Citi News, “It was not easy for us and there was a lack of access to where the fire was spreading and because it happened in the night, the shops were closed and we had to break through and that made it tedious.”
Though no casualties were recorded, two traders, out of shock, fainted upon arriving at the scene.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
