A fire has destroyed a chain of mechanic shops in Asokwa, Ashanti.
The outbreak occurred on Wednesday evening.
Six vehicles, several engines, and upholstery materials were all destroyed.
It is unclear what caused the fire.
Divisional Officer Grade II, Nicholas Opoku Aikins, the Regional Operations Officer of the Fire Service commenting on the outbreak said
“We’ve accessed the devastation over here; you could see that now the place is dark so we can’t come out with the actual cause of the fire right now. So tomorrow early in the morning, the crew that was on duty will come and assess everything and look at the probable causes of the fire.”
“Generally, when it rains, it reduces the extent of fire spread because anytime the rainwater fall on the fire, it evaporates and the atmosphere becomes humid and humid atmosphere does not also support combustion.”
