He indicated that the firefighters arrived promptly and were able to contain the blaze before it escalated into a major disaster.

Following a preliminary assessment, ADO1 Isaac Kojo Poku stated that the exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

However, he noted that possible causes such as electrical faults and negligence cannot be ruled out.

He further revealed that, although the fire was brought under control, structural damage to the building was significant.

As a result, he has recommended that the entire top floor of the facility be demolished and reconstructed.

According to him, the upper floor, which consists of about ten rooms, has been severely weakened and is no longer safe for habitation.

The officer added that Municipal Engineers have been notified and invited to conduct an independent structural assessment in line with standard procedures.

He used the opportunity to urge the public to strictly adhere to fire safety protocols in both homes and workplaces to prevent similar incidents.
