ANOTHER FIRE OUTBREAK??...GUTS KOKOMPE MARKET

Ravaging fire has swamped a section of the
Kokompe market at Darkuman in Accra.
Property worth thousands of Ghana cedis have
been destroyed, but no casualty has been
reported yet.
The inferno which started about 9:30pm
Saturday, according to residents, flattened
several structures, Joy News has gathered.
The market is a major trading area operated
mainly by auto mechanics and spare parts
dealers.
This comes only a couple of days after the
country's Central Medical Stores was consumed
by a fire that took fire personnel about four
days to fight.
The state is estimated to have lost over Ghc230
million worth of drugs and medical supplies
consumed by the fire.
The cause of the blaze at Kokompe is yet to be
determined.
It is the second time in a little over three years
that fire has gutted the area.
Earlier Saturday, fire destroyed a part of the
Asokwa Shell filling station in Kumasi in the
Ashanti Region. a vehicle was also burnt entirely
in the inferno.
