Mr Kpotor rushed into the chamber where his wife and children were, woke them up and together jumped to safety through the chamber window.
He said volunteers put out the fire at the residence and the bar but several bottles of drinks at the bar and personal belongings in the residence were lost.
The Police at Denu confirmed the incident but said no arrest had been made.
