Accra, June 4 (GNA) – A fire outbreak involving residential buildings for police personnel and commercial shops near the Regional Police Headquarters in Accra’s Central Business District (CBD) has been successfully contained, preventing its spread to nearby structures.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) confirmed that firefighters brought the blaze under control and are currently carrying out cooling operations to extinguish any remaining hotspots.
Four fire engines and a water tanker were deployed to the scene to support the operation and ensure the fire does not reignite.
