Fire has gutted a section of a chain of six warehouses located at Spintex in Accra Monday, November 11, 2024, night.

It is unclear what caused the inferno at the warehouse which is said to be a sofa manufacturing facility. No casualties were recorded in the raging fire.

Officers from the Fire Service on the Spintex road near Kasapreko company were the first to arrive at the scene to fight the fire. But due to the intense nature of the raging fire, they called in reinforcement from the four other fire stations including the Headquarters, Trade Fair, University of Ghana and Abelenpke.
