Fire destroys 11 rooms at Anlo Town compound house in Eastern region

A devastating fire has ravaged 11 of the 23 rooms within a compound house in Anlo Town, located near the Old Slaughter House in the New Juaben North Municipality, Eastern region of Ghana. The incident came to light on Friday, November 6, when the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) reported the occurrence via their Facebook page.

A team of ten firefighters from the New Juaben North Municipal Fire Station was immediately dispatched to the scene. Remarkably, these brave men managed to quell the flames before they could spread to adjacent properties, effectively containing the fire.

Despite their valiant efforts, the blaze left a trail of destruction in its wake. Several personal items were lost, along with two electric motorbikes and a bicycle. The extent of human casualties remains unknown at this time. Moreover, access to the affected building has been restricted due to concerns over the building's structural integrity.

Senior officers from both the Fire and Police Services made the trip to assess the situation firsthand. In addition, official investigations into the root cause of the outbreak have already been initiated.
