Over 13 cars have been destroyed as a result of a fire outbreak at a fitting shop at Agric Kokode in the Ashanti Region.
The fire which started on Tuesday night, is believed to have spread from burning rubbish.
Some persons who tried to salvage the situation say they faced difficulties in their attempts to reach personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service to help douse the fire, thereby resulting in the destruction of over 13 cars.
The owner of the fitting shop who spoke to Citi News said: “Owners of a shop by my fitting shop always burn rubbish when they close but this time, one of my apprentices asked them not to do so as we had closed at the time, but he went ahead anyway.”
“So I was in the room when I got a call that my shop caught fire. We called the fire service for some time before they came. At the time most of the cars were already burning.”
