Personnel from the Industrial Area Fire Station successfully responded to two separate fire incidents in Accra over the weekend, preventing further damage and ensuring no loss of life.
The first incident occurred at the North Gate of Accra Academy in Bubiashie, where a Lexus RX350 caught fire late on Saturday night.
Firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control and extinguished it.
While the vehicle’s engine compartment, roof, and dashboard were completely destroyed, the back seat and tyres were salvaged. No injuries were reported, and investigations into the cause are ongoing.
In a separate incident at Dansoman Last Stop on Sunday, firefighters responded to a fire involving a tailoring shop housed in a metal container.
Although the fire had gone out before their arrival, three sewing machines, fabrics, tables, and chairs were destroyed. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The Ghana National Fire Service has urged the public to regularly inspect electrical installations and observe fire safety precautions to prevent similar incidents.
