Mercedes-Benz burnt to ashes by fire at Ahodwo

A Mercedes-Benz was reduced to ashes in a fire that broke out at the Ahodwo Roundabout in Kumasi on Friday, February 7, 2025.

The incident was reported by JoyNews on X, with the caption, “A Mercedes-Benz A140 was completely destroyed by fire at the Ahodwo Roundabout in Kumasi. Fire officers responded promptly to extinguish the flames, but the vehicle was beyond salvage.”

According to reports, the car caught fire thirty minutes after the occupant, identified as Attorah Kyeremanteng, left home.

The region has recently witnessed a series of fire incidents, including market fires, the latest being a devastating fire that swept through a 13-bedroom house in the Oforikrom Gaoline community on Thursday, February 6, 2025.

The fire left several families homeless and destroyed properties worth thousands of Ghana cedis.

Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Security Council (REGSEC) is collaborating with the Ghana National Fire Service to conduct investigations into the surge in fire outbreaks in the region.

Addressing a press conference, the Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, emphasised that findings from the investigations would inform strategic measures to curb the situation.

“We have teamed up with the GNFS to halt the fire incidents being recorded. We will also investigate those that have already happened. We cannot lose investments and capital to these fires. The negligence of people shouldn’t be resulting in the losses being recorded,” he stated.
