More than GH¢800,000 worth of goods were obliterated when a truck carrying various items including refrigerators, generators, gas burners, and chairs went up in flames along the Apedwa-Kibi road. The incident occurred while the driver and two other occupants were sleeping, prompting them to escape through the truck's windscreen after hearing alerts from passers-by.
The trio had halted their journey from Tema to Kumasi to take a rest when the fire ignited. By the time firefighters from the Kibi Fire Station arrived at 3:14 a.m., the truck, bearing the registration number GE 4273-26, was completely engulfed in flames. The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) utilized two hose lines equipped with foam to bring the blaze under control at 4:00 a.m., ultimately extinguishing it in full at 4:28 a.m. While there were no reported casualties, the loss of the goods remains a significant blow. The origin of the fire is currently under investigation.
