Fire Guts Parts Of The Kantamanto Market

Fire has gutted parts of the Kantamanto market in the Accra central business district. Fire reportedly started around 10 pm according to an eyewitness. By 10-20 pm, the fire had gone out of control and some onlookers ran to the nearby fire station to request help. The Ghana 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.
