Fire has ravaged Zongo Lane, located near Rawlings Park in the Greater Accra Region, leaving behind extensive damage to several shops and their contents.
The blaze reportedly originated from a small shop and rapidly spread, engulfing surrounding stores and sending plumes of thick black smoke into the sky. The swift escalation of the fire prompted an urgent response from the Ghana National Fire Service.
Firefighters arrived on the scene promptly and undertook a rigorous effort to control the flames. Despite their intense work, the fire caused considerable destruction before it was brought under control.
As the smoke began to dissipate, it became clear that the fire had caused severe damage. Numerous shops were left in ruins, with valuable items such as clothing, electronics, and other goods completely destroyed.
The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Ghana National Fire Service. Authorities are currently working to determine how the blaze started and to assess the full impact on the affected businesses.
