Correspondence from Ashanti Region

A fire outbreak that occurred on Sunday, November 14 at Ohwim in the Bantama Sub-Metro of the Ashanti region has completely destroyed at least an eight (8) bedroom house.

A few seconds before they could reach the said room to find out what was actually happening, the situation got worse with the fire spreading throughout the house.

Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service were called to rescue the situation, but unfortunately, the houses got burnt before their arrival.

SO1 Augustine Ahenfo from the Bremang branch of the GNFS said, the cause of the outbreak is not yet known.

He revealed that the fire service was going to investigate to ascertain the cause of the fire.
