The building in flames
A ferocious fire gutted the main building of the State Insurance Company (SIC) in Takoradi early yesterday morning.
The inferno affected several offices in the four-storey building destroying property worth thousands of Cedis.
One of the badly hit offices was the studio of Takoradi-based New Day Television.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known. However, it reportedly started from the television studio at about 9:00am.
Firefighters from Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and the Ghana Ports and Habours Authority (GPHA) later arrived at the scene and managed to bring the fire under control.
