Firefighters from four stations, including the Tema Industrial Area, Ashaiman, Tema Regional Headquarters, and Dodowa Fire Stations, have been battling to bring the inferno under control and prevent it from spreading to nearby properties. The cause of the fire is yet to be established, and there is currently no official information on casualties or the extent of damage.
The warehouse, which stored numerous barrels of alcohol, is located in a densely populated area. Residents in the vicinity have been advised to stay indoors and keep windows closed due to the thick smoke billowing from the burning warehouse.
