One Dead as Fire Destroys Two-Bedroom House at Sefwi Adjoafua

A 70-year-old man, Kwasi Nkansah, has died after a domestic fire razed a two-bedroom house at Sefwi Adjoafua.

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) confirmed the incident in a Facebook post on Monday, February 16, stating that the blaze destroyed the two-bedroom, one-kitchen structure.

Firefighters who responded to the emergency reportedly faced heavy rainfall and poor road conditions but were able to contain the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to adjoining buildings.

The cause of the fire has not yet been disclosed.

The GNFS has urged the public to prioritise fire safety by closely supervising vulnerable persons, observing basic fire prevention measures and promptly reporting emergencies to the authorities.

“Stay safe: supervise the vulnerable, practise fire safety, and report emergencies immediately,” the Service advised.
