Fire ravages shops in kantamanto

Parts of the Kantamanto market in Accra have been ravaged by fire.

The fire which started Tuesday evening, December 15, 2020 at around 10pm affected traders made frantic measures to salvage their goods.

By 10:20 pm, the fire had gone out of control and some onlookers ran to the nearby fire station to request help.

Fire service personnel reportedly got to the fire station at around 11 pm.

The firefighters are currently on the ground to help douse the fire that has so far destroyed many goods including clothes.

They have stopped the blaze from spreading and are still trying to quench the blaze.

It remains unclear what may have started the fire.

A similar incident in that same enclave occurred last month with the Accra central branch of GCB Bank when one of the bank’s offices was razed.
