Authorities at Accra Academy have appealed to students to share rooms with colleagues in other dormitories following a second fire outbreak in two weeks.
The first incident this year was recorded on January 15.

A Board Member of the school has asked students affected by the inferno to remain calm and avoid going near the site of the incident.

He has, therefore, directed about seven hundred male students to join their colleagues in other dormitories.
The Board Member further explained that the school will replace all lost items belonging to the students.
He made this announcement when the students were assembled at Nash Park on campus for briefing.
“We know how traumatic this is. It is why we have assembled you people here to talk to you. We understand this is traumatic and scary. We are trying to find out what the cause of the fire is and we will get to know it,” he said.

One of the students said he had some money and property gutted in the blaze.
“The fire started at about 7:30 pm. Those of us who had our property burnt are very upset. We don’t know how the fire started. We were all at prep. All we heard was our dormitory was on fire. I lost GHS400, boots, jerseys and everything else,” the student said.
He also disclosed that “we have been assigned different hall so we will spend the night there.”
