A New Year's party turned disastrous at Kumasi-Tafo Mile 4 when a firework display allegedly started a fire that destroyed a shop near the Hisense outlet. The fire swiftly spread, engulfing the shop and nearby buildings in flames. Witnesses stated that the fire grew at an alarming rate, causing considerable concern among spectators and nearby inhabitants.

The event occurred just after the New Year's celebrations, and fireworks are thought to be the source of the fire. While there were no casualties, the shop's merchandise was completely destroyed in the fire. At the time of reporting, fire service officials had not yet arrived on the scene, and the specific source of the fire was unknown.

This terrible accident occurred immediately after the Fire Service initiated a public awareness campaign warning people about the dangers of fireworks during celebrations. The authorities are expected to look into the actual source of the fire and determine the extent of the damage to nearby houses.

The sad turn of events serves as a warning of the dangers inherent in fireworks displays, particularly during huge celebrations, and emphasizes the need of safety precautions in averting such catastrophes. As the investigation continues, local residents are eagerly awaiting more information from the incident Service about how the incident started and any additional safeguards that may be taken in future.
