A severe fire has demolished numerous wooden buildings at Circle ECOMOG in the Greater Accra region.
The fire ignited around 4 PM on Wednesday, leading to extensive damage and forcing many inhabitants to flee for safety and rescue their possessions.
A resident known as Super Scary described the frantic scene as the fire swiftly consumed the area. “It happened so quickly. One moment everything was fine, and the next, there was fire all around,” he recounted.
The cause of the fire remains undetermined, but the rapid spread implies that the densely packed wooden structures and potentially flammable materials stored within may have intensified the blaze.
Local authorities have started an investigation to ascertain the fire’s cause.
The Circle ECOMOG community is now dealing with the aftermath, with residents sifting through the ruins of their homes, trying to salvage whatever they can.
