40 shops at the Kumasi Central Market with property worth millions of Cedis destroyed by fire.

The section of the market where hand-made shoes and leather sellers pavilions are sited is said to have been heavily affected by Sunday night’s inferno.

Ashanti Regional Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Ghana National Fire Service, DOIII Acquah Desmond told Media Generale’s Akoma FM that “preliminary investigation revealed 40 out of 48 shops within that particular section of the central market [have been affected].”

He explained the main cause of the fire was a result of lightning during Sunday night’s downpour in Kumasi, triggering fluctuations in power and the consequent fire outbreak.

He said; “At about 10:00pm on Sunday, we had a distress call, so our team rushed to the scene. Our major problem was access to the actual scene because of haphazard siting of shops without proper roads and access routes.

“Nonetheless, our team maneuvered and managed the fire from spreading. So at about 11:30pm, the fire was quenched.”
