Information reaching Myjoyonline.com says about 25 houses in the Asuogyaman District in the Eastern Region have been burnt down.
The inferno, suspected to have been caused by human error, occurred about five days ago in the midst of a rainstorm that hit Asasikrom, a town in the district.
The District Coordinator of NADMO, Lovejoe Dusi, who confirmed the incident to Joy FM’s Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, said the fire escalated to that level due to the lack of fire fighters close to the community.
However, there was no human casualty in the fire outbreak, but several personal effects were burnt to ashes.
He said a team from NADMO visited the area Tuesday to assess the situation there. His outfit is currently taking care of the displaced residents, and relief items have been distributed to the affected people.
“I strongly believe it is a human error. Because before the fire started, I believe the people who use this local [wood] fire did not quench the fire before the wind started, so that was it.”
