A raging fire has swept through the Techiman market, leaving a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.
The inferno, which is believed to have consumed numerous stalls and goods worth thousands of cedis, has sparked widespread outrage and frustration among traders.
Eyewitnesses at the scene report that the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has failed to respond to the emergency, citing a lack of water in their tanks. This absence of immediate intervention has allowed the fire to spread uncontrollably, exacerbating the damage and losses.
A trending video captured at the scene shows witnesses expressing their frustration and helplessness as they watch their livelihoods go up in flames.
One distraught trader lamented, “We have called the fire service several times, but they are not here. They say there’s no water in their tanks. Our livelihoods are burning, and we feel helpless.”
The fire outbreak has raised serious concerns about the preparedness and responsiveness of the GNFS in emergency situations.
The lack of water in their tanks has been cited as a major factor in their inability to respond effectively to the crisis.
As the people of Techiman struggle to come to terms with the devastating loss, many are calling for urgent action to address the underlying issues that contributed to this disaster.
The full extent of the damage and losses incurred in the fire outbreak is still being assessed. However, it is clear that the people of Techiman will need support and assistance to recover from this devastating blow.
