A transformer at Oyoko in Koforidua caught fire, causing alarm among residents and prompting an emergency response to prevent the blaze from spreading.
The incident involved a two-pole-mounted transformer, which was engulfed in flames and emitting thick smoke when responders arrived at the scene.
To facilitate firefighting efforts and ensure public safety, power supply to the affected installation was disconnected in collaboration with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
The fire was brought under control within a short period, preventing further damage to nearby installations and properties.
Although sections of the utility pole and some electrical cables were damaged, the swift response helped contain the fire before it could spread to adjoining structures.
The cause of the fire is yet to be established.
