Fire Guts St. Paul Technical Dormitory At Akyem Kukurantumi

Fire at St. Paul Technical School (SPATS) in the Akyem Kukurantumi in the Eastern Region has displaced over 60 students. The fire which occurred in the boys dormitory also burnt books, trunks, mattresses, monies and other educational materials of the students. No casualty was recorded because the fire outbreak occurred while the

students were in class. The cause of the fire too is being investigated too by the Ghana National Fire Service that responded to douse the inferno. According to principal of St. Paul Technical School (SPATS), Benjamin Adjabeng, management is struggling to find accommodation for the displaced students because the existing dormitories

were already congested. I’m appealing to philanthropists, NGOs, the government, individuals, to come to the aid of the school. Firstly, to cater for belongings of students, especially their books. The form three students have all their books burnt, including trunks, and mattresses. So we are in need of some mattresses, trunks, chop boxes,

provisions, and books. In addition, a fresh student who just reported got all his belongings burnt to ashes. The principal lamented. Currently, a temporal shelter has also been provided for all the affected students. Meanwhile, some of the old students living in Eastern Region have visited the the school to commiserate with the affected students and to also motivate them since they were all traumatized and dispirited .
