A massive fire has destroyed several shops and properties in Koforidua, Eastern Region, close to the Central Police Station. The blaze has reportedly gutted multiple structures, leaving the area in ruins.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) is on scene, attempting to contain the inferno and prevent it from spreading to neighbouring buildings. Firefighters have deployed water hoses and fire engines, but the full extent of the damage is still unclear.
Authorities have not yet identified the cause of the fire, and no immediate information is available on possible casualties or the estimated value of the property lost. Investigators are working to determine how the blaze started and whether any safety violations contributed.
Further details on the incident, including the circumstances surrounding the outbreak and the precise extent of the damage, have not yet emerged. Residents and business owners are awaiting official statements from the fire service and local police.
As the situation develops, the Ghana National Fire Service will continue to monitor the area and provide updates on the fire’s containment and any potential risks to nearby properties.
