  "account": "The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) responded to two separate fire incidents in the Eastern Region on September 7, 2024, with no casualties reported.\n\nNear the main lorry station in Anyinam, a commercial property reportedly caught fire due to an electrical fault. A six-member crew from the Bunso Fire Station responded at 4:45 am, arriving 16 minutes after the distress call. Upon arrival, the fire had already been extinguished. Firefighters conducted an overhaul to prevent reignition, salvaging gas cylinders, chairs, a mattress, a bench, and a table. Two standing fans were destroyed, while mattresses, a television stand, and a wooden ceiling sustained partial damage. Occupants received fire safety education.\n\nLater that day, the Bunso Fire Station responded to a vehicle fire on the Accra-Kumasi Highway in Akyem Asafo. A seven-member crew arrived at 10:49 am, 16 minutes after receiving the call. The driver, noticing an unusual sound and smoke, had stopped to inspect the Mazda CX-7 before it burst into flames. Bystanders overturned the car, worsening the fire. Firefighters used foam concentrate to control the blaze by 11:10 am, leaving the vehicle completely destroyed. The cause of the vehicle fire is under investigation.",
