Fire Guts NPP Office

 

Constituency executive of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) at Nkrankwanta in the Dormaa West District of the Bono Region are counting their losses following fire which gutted their office.

Several properties have been destroyed by the fire.

According to report, the cause of the fire which started at about 1am is yet to be established.

The Dormaa West Constituency Secretary, Ernest Amankwa, said they currently have no office for their operations as they have lost everything to the fire.

He said they are looking forward to the District Assembly and the Regional office to extend help to them.

Some adjoining houses were also affected as the fire spread faster than they could salvage properties.

Speaking to Adom News, some tenants said they have lost almost everything to the fire.

They, however, stated that they suspect frequent power outages in the area might have triggered the fire.

Currently, there are no fire service personnel working in the District and a distress call was, therefore, placed to Dormaa Central who also said their fire tender was faulty.

The residents are, therefore, calling on the relevant authorities to help the District to get fire service personnel and equipment to fight fire in the area.

The NADMO Director, Balla Mohammed, disclosed that property worth GHS200,000 have been lost to the fire.
