On Monday, some 25 out of 52 thatch-roof houses got destroyed during a fire outbreak at Gomoa Amanfi in the Central Region.

In a report, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) noted that its Winneba Fire Station officers received a late call, hence the dire aftermath.

However, the GNFS managed to salvage 27 thatch-roofed houses. Winneba Fire Station officers had support from firefighters from the Apam Fire Station to douse the flame in half an hour.

Meanwhile, the cause of the fire is yet to be established.
