Scores of shops at ‘Blue Light’, Adum in the Central Business Centre of Kumasi have been gutted by fire Friday dawn.
Some shop owners attempted to defy the ravaging fire to salvage wares. They threw caution to the wind despite warnings from the police and firefighters to stay away
A shop owner had to be forced out, and at a point a ladder was needed to evacuate him from danger.
“The fire fighters have not done enough to kill this fire” a distraught shop owner tells TV3’s Evans-Nkum
The cause of the fire remains unknown but it appears as if an explosion was heard from some of the burning shops.
Apparently, materials in those shops are combustible
Firefighters and the police are still at fire scene trying to bring situation under control
