Firefighters are facing difficulties […]
Reports of fatalities in the Avenor fire have yet to be confirmed by the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS). ADO1 Alex King Nartey, a spokesperson for the GNFS, stated that unverified reports of deaths circulating in connection with the incident are mere hearsay. Firefighters are currently concentrating on extinguishing the fire and will conduct investigations to determine the cause and extent of the damage once the operation is complete.
The fire, which began in the Kofikrom area of Avenor, spread to parts of the industrial area and impacted the Duraplast factory, where several plastic pipes were reportedly burnt. The cause of the fire has not yet been established, but ADO1 Nartey noted that the nature of activities in the area, including cigarette sales and cooking from wooden structures, could have contributed to the rapid spread of the blaze.
The GNFS assures that further information will be provided upon completion of its operations and investigations.
