On Saturday, February 10, 2024, a dramatic firefighting operation unfolded in the Asante Akim South Municipality as the Konongo-Odumasi Fire Station responded promptly to a distress call reporting a fire outbreak at Pra Junction.

Under the leadership of StnO II Odjer Jonathan, the firefighting crew arrived swiftly at the scene to find wooden beams ablaze near an Electricity Company Ghana (ECG) high tension pole.

Despite the intensity of the flames, the skilled firefighters launched an aggressive attack, successfully extinguishing the fire and preserving essential infrastructure, including the ECG high tension pole and a portion of the wooden beams.

While the cause of the fire remains unclear, investigations are underway to determine its origin.
