At Kantamanto Market in Accra, stores are destroyed by fire


 On Tuesday morning, a fire broke out in the Kantamanto market in Accra, destroying items and businesses worth thousands of cedis.

At this time, it is unknown what started the fire that destroyed the stores beside the railway line at the Kantamanto market.

More than 15 stores, according to Charles, an eyewitness, have been completely destroyed by the fire.

He described how members of the Ghana National Fire Service ran out of water and were unable to put out the fire.

To attempt and put out the roaring fire, he later stated, more fire service units had arrived at the area.

There hasn't yet been a casualty reported.

In order to prevent any obstacles from getting in the way of the fire officers performing their duties, the police have roped off the affected area.

Additionally, officers have been sent in to control traffic away from the location of the incident to prevent any potential looting.

Additionally helping the drill are representatives from the National Disaster Management Organization.

Ambrose Dery, the interior minister, is on the site together with the inspector general of police to determine the amount of the damage and speak with the impacted business owners.


The drill is being coordinated by the Chief Fire Officer, who is also present.
