Several structures have been razed down by fire at Abuakwa Maakro in the Atwima Nwabiagya Municipality.
Affected persons are counting their losses amidst walling and crying.
It is unclear what caused the outbreak but residents in the area have blamed the incident on power fluctuations.
Some of them have also blamed the Ghana National Fire Service for failing to respond to their distress call when the fire started.
They alleged that the fire destroyed all their properties before the service arrived at the scene.
An angry affected victim said “if the Fore Service had arrived on time, several properties would have been saved. We blame them. We pay them through our taxes and help in providing their training. But they do not respond to distress calls on time. We will deal with them for what they have done”.
Others who trade in oil, rice, and other commodities are also counting their losses.
Some of them said their loans and sales from their trading activity were consumed on the fire.
