The fire was reported at 16:13 GMT, and the first fire pump from the Tema Metro Fire Station arrived at the scene at 16:25 GMT. After intense firefighting efforts, the blaze was successfully confined by 17:57 GMT.
To combat the fire, six fire pumps were deployed from various fire stations, including Tema Metro, Newtown, Industrial Area, Ashaiman, Motorway, and Tema Oil Refinery Fire Stations. Firefighters worked diligently to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby warehouses and structures.
