Blaze Destroys Vehicle and Commercial Structures
A devastating fire broke out at a fuel station in Teshie, destroying a vehicle and damaging at least three commercial structures, including a barbering salon, a drinking bar, and a grocery shop.
According to eyewitnesses, the fire erupted when a vehicle arrived to supply fuel at the station, which is suspected to be operating without proper authorization. The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) reported that the flames spread rapidly, consuming the fuel station, an adjacent car, and nearby small businesses.
Firefighters from multiple units, including four fire tenders from Trade Fair, two from the national headquarters, and one from the Ghana Armed Forces, swiftly responded. Their quick intervention prevented the fire from spreading to a nearby school.
Upon arrival, emergency teams discovered stored fuel in gallons and a generator, raising concerns about fire safety violations. Despite the severity of the blaze, no casualties have been reported. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the fire and whether the fuel station had the necessary operational permits.
