A bushfire on Monday at the Olympic Arena in Winneba left two wooden structures destroyed, prompting swift intervention by the Winneba Fire Station.

The fire was reported at 11:40 a.m., and a firefighting crew was immediately dispatched, arriving at the scene within two minutes. Upon arrival, the team observed that the fire had already engulfed two uncompleted wooden structures.

Acting promptly, the firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control by 11:49 a.m. and fully extinguished it a minute later, preventing the flames from spreading further. While some vegetation and an additional wooden structure were partially burnt, the team's quick response saved several other structures in the area.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the fire was caused by indiscriminate disposal of cigarette butts, which ignited dry vegetation and spread rapidly.
