Fire has razed down the Ofoase office of the Ghana National Fire Service in the Eastern Region.
The Regional Safety Director, Samuel Mantey, who confirmed the incident to Myjoyonline.com said the fire broke out at about 8pm Sunday.
Mantey however refrained from giving details pending investigations.
The residential apartment had been given to the Service to use temporarily while construction of the main office continues.
It is unclear what might have triggered the fire but a source at the station attributes it to a burning bush close to the offices.
Fire officers were nowhere close to saving the situation.
The Service station in Ofoase operates for 12 hours instead of 24 hours.
All office equipments except their vehicles which were parked at the District Assembly were destroyed by the fire.
