A tragic fire outbreak in Gyinyase, Asokwa Municipality of the Ashanti Region, has claimed the lives of a nurse from Kumasi South Hospital, Linda Agyemang, and her three children.
The fire, which broke out in the early hours of Saturday, left the family trapped inside their three-bedroom house. Despite frantic efforts by neighbors and passersby to rescue them, the intensity of the flames made access impossible. Firefighters arrived on the scene after being alerted but discovered the victims burnt beyond recognition in the bathroom.
Three other occupants of the house were successfully rescued and are currently receiving treatment at Kumasi South Hospital.
The charred bodies of the deceased have been transported to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for preservation as authorities launch an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
Ashanti Regional Public Relations Officer for the Ghana Fire Service, DO II Peter Addai, confirmed the incident, stating, “At 4:36 AM on February 8, 2025, we received a distress call reporting a fire at Gyinyase near Tubi Hotel. We quickly dispatched our fire tenders, but the fire was intense, so we called for additional support. Unfortunately, four lives were lost, and investigations are ongoing to determine the cause.”
