Traders at the Ho Central Market are counting their losses as their burnt properties fill refuse containers.
About five stores filled with wares including cosmetics, rubber products and second-hand clothes were completely burnt when a fire swept through the market Wednesday dawn.
The fire service managed to contain the fire to prevent it from further spreading into other shops, reports Volta Region Correspondent, Hubert Yevu-Agbi.
Authorities have blamed the inferno partly on the dry harmattan winds.
