A major fire outbreak at Akyem Kwabeng on Saturday, March 29, 2025, was successfully contained by personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), preventing extensive damage to surrounding properties.
The fire, which broke out on the first floor of a storey building, prompted an immediate response from the Anyinam Fire Station.
As the fire continued to spread, reinforcement from the Bunso Fire Station joined the efforts.
Through their coordinated response, the firefighters managed to bring the inferno under control in 2 hours.
Their swift intervention prevented the fire from spreading to ground-floor stores and a nearby apartment, averting a greater disaster.
While several personal belongings and electronic appliances were lost in the fire, no injuries or fatalities were recorded.
Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause of the outbreak.
The GNFS has been commended for their swift and professional response, which saved lives and property in the community.
