Traders at the Suame Post Office market in the Ashanti region are counting their losses after a late-night fire destroyed over 100 shops.<\/p>\n

The inferno reportedly started in the wee hours of Tuesday and tore through the market, razing properties and various items sold at the market, worth millions of cedis.<\/p>\n

According to eyewitnesses, gas cylinders stored at the market exploded, contributing to the rapid spread of the fire throughout the market.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire is yet to be established.<\/p>\n

The traders watched helplessly as their shops and goods were consumed by the inferno.<\/p>\n

Some nearby residents rushed to the scene and forcefully opened some shops to salvage items before the fire consumed them.<\/p>\n

Traders and residents allege that firefighters arrived at the scene late, when several parts of the market had already been razed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe called for help earlier, but the fire service came late. By then, everything was gone,\u201d one distraught eyewitness said.<\/p>\n

\"Fire<\/figure>\n

No casualties have since been reported as the Ghana National Fire Service commences preliminary investigations into the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
