Over one hundred stores have been destroyed by fire at the Kumasi Central Market. Yam, smoked fish, earrings and sheabutter section were lost to the blaze. Fire personnel really had a hard time battling the fire that spread out fast through the market. According to sources the fire started around 9pm Wednesday at a section called BODE.
although the fire has been brought under control, firefighters
have cordoned off parts of the
market to enable them put off some of the dying embers.
Traders arriving at the market
Thursday morning have, however, been pushing through to get to their stores
creating pandemonium.
Security men on watch say the fire
started at one of the shops at the market.
Thousands of live birds have been
burnt to ashes while hundreds of shops have been razed by the fire.
The central market has been hit
countless times by similar fire incidents.
Two months ago, parts of the market
were engulfed by fire and destroyed several shops and properties.
