Fire guts Kumasi Central Market




Kumasi Central Market was yesterday razed by fire around 9pm.

About 15 shops were completely thrown down by the wild fire and several properties worth thousands of cedis got destroyed as the fire continued to spread.

Fire Service personnel swiftly intervened to quench the fire though reports say it took them more than two hours to bring the fire under control.

Two traders sustained minor injuries in an attempt to retrieve their properties and another collapsed after seeing his shop in flames.

No casualties were recorded.

Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Kwaku Agyemang Mensah and Mayor of Kumasi, Samuel Sarpong are yet to visit the scene of the incident today.

The cause of the fire outbreak is still unknown.
