A devastating fire outbreak occurred at Gyinyase in the Asokwa Municipality of the Ashanti Region, resulting in the tragic loss of life of a nurse from Kumasi South Hospital, Linda Agyemang, and her three children.
Details indicate that the family was trapped inside their three-bedroom house when the fire started.
Neighbors’ attempts to rescue them were unsuccessful due to the intensity of the flames, which made access to the building impossible.
The fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday, leaving residents in shock.
Firefighters arrived at the scene after being alerted and managed to extinguish the blaze, but unfortunately, the victims were found burnt beyond recognition in the bathroom.
Three other occupants of the house were rescued and are currently receiving treatment at Kumasi South Hospital.
The charred bodies were later transported to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for preservation. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
Speaking to journalists after the incident, Ashanti Regional Public Relations Officer for the Ghana Fire Service, DO II Peter Addai, said
“At 44: 08 – 44: 32At 4:36 AM on 8 February 2025, we received a distress call reporting a fire at Gyinyase near Tubi hotel. We quickly dispatched our fire tenders to attend to the fire, when we got there the fire was wild alright so we called for a second attendant to help. We lost four people in that fire but the cause of the fire is still under investigation”
