A fire outbreak at Konongo-Zongo near St. Gabriel Basic School in the Ashanti Region has destroyed a 3-bedroom house.

There were no injuries recorded, according to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in a public notice on Monday, 9, 2023.

However, items including furniture, beds, home appliances, utensils and personal effects were burnt to ashes.

Per the GNFS, it received a late call-up to the fire scene.

"This afternoon’s fire, which started at 1600 hours, was eventually relayed to the Service at 1629 hours. Firefighters from the Konongo Fire Station got to the raging fire scene at 1635 hours to finally knock it out at 1758 hours without recording any Firefighter and civilian injuries," the Fire Service noted.

Nonetheless, the responding crew led by STNO II Odjer managed to prevent the raging fire from affecting an adjoining one bedroom self-contained house and its contents on the same compound.

Meanwhile, the cause of the fire incident is yet to be determined.
