Personnel from the Ghana Fire Service were on hand to put out the raging fire however nothing was left from all the shops that were affected.

"The dryness of the materials used for constructing the shops, the wind direction and the gas emitted from the exploded cylinders caused the fire to spread very fast", witnesses said.
