When a firework display allegedly started a fire that destroyed a store close to the Hisense outlet, a New Year's party at Kumasi-Tafo Mile 4 descended into chaos. The shop and nearby buildings were rapidly engulfed in flames as the fire spread. According to witnesses, the fire spread alarmingly quickly, sending locals and passersby into a state of widespread panic. Fireworks are thought to have started the event, which happened just after the New Year's festivities. Although there were no reported casualties, the fire totally destroyed the store's contents. The precise cause of the incident was unknown at the time of reporting, and fire department officers had not yet reached the area.
The Fire Service had just begun a public awareness campaign alerting people to the possible risks associated with fireworks during festivities when this regrettable incident occurred. It is anticipated that the authorities will determine the precise cause of the fire and evaluate the degree of property damage in the area.
The unfortunate development emphasizes the significance of safety precautions in averting such mishaps and serves as a reminder of the dangers associated with fireworks displays, particularly during big parties. The investigation is ongoing, and locals are eagerly awaiting additional information from the incident Service regarding the cause of the incident and any future safety measures.
