Fire has destroyed a
four-bedroom-house at Goaso in the Ahafo Region with property and an amount of
GHS 4,400 burnt into ashes.
The landlady, Madam Margret
Kobi, told Adom News they were outside when they saw heavy smoke and fire
coming from the house.
“There were no men to assist and due to the quantum
of fire and smoke, there was nothing to salvage,” she narrated.
The Station Officer 2 of Goaso
Fire Service, James Kutaah, who confirmed the news, said there was nothing the
outfit could do to save the situation.
This is because they received
the call late and damage had already been done upon their arrival.
“The people directed their calls
to Kenyasi Fire Station instead of Goaso. So it was an officer there who
redirected the call to us,” he said.
He took the opportunity to
advise residents to be abreast with their emergency numbers which are
constantly aired at the various radio stations at Goaso.
This, he said, will help tackle future occurrences in time.
Meanwhile, Aunty Maggie has appealed to the government and
individuals to come to her aid as the affected family are now homeless.
