Fire has destroyed parts of BSE Company Limited, a sawmill located at Adadekrom in the Birim North Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The fire was reportedly started during wood burning for charcoal production.
Firefighters from the New Abirem Municipal Fire Station were quickly dispatched to the scene after receiving a distress call.
A team of eight officers, led by LFM Tenkorang Ofori Prince, managed to contain and extinguish the blaze before it spread to other sections of the facility.
Although parts of the sawmill were destroyed, several stacks of wood and charcoal materials were salvaged.
No casualties were recorded.
The Ghana National Fire Service has begun investigations to confirm the exact cause of the fire and assess the extent of damage.
