Firefighters from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) have successfully contained a commercial fire that broke out at Madina Zongo Junction in Accra, preventing it from spreading to adjoining buildings.<\/p>\n

The fire, which involved three shops located on the ground floor of a one-storey commercial building, occurred on Wednesday, January 21, 2026.<\/p>\n

The GNFS said it received a distress call at 4:41 pm, prompting the immediate dispatch of a firefighting crew from the Madina Fire Station, which arrived at the scene within two minutes.<\/p>\n

With support from the Legon Fire Station, firefighters brought the blaze under control by 5:00 pm and fully extinguished it at about 5:25 pm, less than 45 minutes after the call was received.<\/p>\n

Preliminary assessments indicate that one of the shops and its contents were completely destroyed by the fire, while two other shops suffered partial damage.<\/p>\n

No injuries or fatalities were recorded.<\/p>\n

The swift response by the combined firefighting teams prevented the fire from spreading to nearby structures, averting what could have been a major commercial disaster in the busy Madina area.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, and investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
