A fierce fire has swept through three girls' dormitories at Labone Senior High School in Accra on Sunday afternoon.
The fire broke out while students were attending their afternoon prep, affecting three out of six dormitories. One dormitory was completely destroyed, while two others suffered partial damage.
Firefighters from the Ghana National Fire Service responded swiftly and are working tirelessly to contain the blaze and prevent further destruction.
Speaking on the development, the Public Relations Officer of the GNFS, Mr. Ado Alex King Nartey, said they had a hint of the fire and dispatched a team to the scene at exactly 1 o'clock.
"When we arrived, we discovered that the girls' dormitory—specifically the new building—was on fire. Out of the six dormitories on the top floor, three were affected; one was completely destroyed, while the other two sustained partial damage," he stated.
According to him, they are unable to determine the exact cause of the fire.
He added that the Service would investigate and find out the cause of the fire.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, and the displaced students have been temporarily relocated to the school's assembly hall for shelter.
"By the God's grace, all the students are safe and accounted for," he added.
