A fierce fire outbreak has destroyed several container shops at Bibiani New Town in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region, leaving traders counting their losses.<\/p>\n

The blaze, which started around 3:50 p.m., swept through about six container shops, including two hair salons, two restaurants, a seamstress shop, and a footwear shop.<\/p>\n

\"Fire<\/figure>\n

Municipal Fire Commander DO2 Enock Tetteh told the media that his team responded swiftly after receiving a distress call. Firefighters managed to contain and extinguish the flames before they spread to nearby properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exact cause of the fire remains under investigation,\u201d he said, urging residents and business owners to handle electrical and gas appliances with care to prevent similar incidents.<\/p>\n

\"Fire<\/figure>\n

Some affected shop owners alleged that the fire may have been triggered by a gas cylinder explosion in one of the restaurants before spreading rapidly to adjoining shops.<\/p>\n

No casualties were reported, but property worth thousands of cedis was destroyed. The Ghana National Fire Service has since launched an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
