Several shops destroyed in the fire
Several wooden shops at Akwatia line near the Asawase office of the National Democratic Congress in Kumasi, Ashanti region, have been razed down by fire.
Cause of the fire is not yet known but victims suspect the fire was caused by a gas explosion at a hair dressing salon near one of the shops before causing other cylinders used by the wood artisans to also explode.
The fire according to reports started around 10 pm Sunday evening.
Some of the victims told Starr News that they have lost in excess of over 50,000 Ghana cedis due to the fire outbreak.
They are, however, calling on government to support them to get back into business.
Investigations are underway to confirm the cause of the fire outbreak.
