Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service were at the scene to quench the fire but could not do so because the water in their tender was not enough, residents say.

Residents who were at the scene tried to put out the fire but their effort yielded no positive results.

Some of the affected items could be seen lying on the floor with residents trying to salvage what they could.
