A 23-year-old woman has lost her life in a fire outbreak at Aboduabo, a farming community in the Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region.
The victim, identified as Sandra Danso, was a nursing mother who reportedly operated a small business selling bottled petrol in a wooden kiosk.
According to eyewitness Kwaku Acheampong, an electrician, the fire started when petrol accidentally splashed near an open flame.
The resulting explosion quickly engulfed the kiosk.
Despite desperate attempts by nearby residents to extinguish the flames, the fire spread rapidly, claiming Sandra’s life.
Her father, Elder David Boatey, shared his heartbreak, stating that he was on his farm when he received a distressed call about the fire.
But upon reaching the scene, everything was lost, including her daughter.
The incident has left the community in mourning, with residents calling for better safety regulations regarding the sale and handling of flammable substances in residential areas.
