A massive fire gutted parts of the Ashaiman Light Industrial Area in the early hours of Tuesday, September 30. The fire destroyed over 100 wooden structures, a car and two metal containers. The service said it was able to save more than 20 wooden structures, several containers, and eight vehicles. In April, residents of Tse Addo in the La Dade-Kotopon Municipality were left counting their losses after a raging fire destroyed parts of their community. Fire officers responded to the incident, but their efforts were in vain as the blaze had already destroyed many properties.
