Firefighters from the Aburi and Akropong Fire Stations have contained a fire outbreak at Adonten Senior High School, preventing the blaze from spreading beyond the school’s science block.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, July 4, the Ghana National Fire Service said the fire caused extensive damage to the House Master’s office, a storeroom and several educational and administrative materials.
“The fire destroyed the House Master’s office, storeroom, and several school items, including office equipment, books, uniforms and electronic devices, while firefighters successfully salvaged library books and gardening tools,” the Service said.
According to the Fire Service, the swift and coordinated response by personnel from the two stations prevented the fire from spreading to other critical parts of the school, significantly limiting the extent of the destruction.
It noted that before firefighters arrived at the scene, staff and students had attempted to extinguish the blaze but were unable to bring it under control.
No injuries or fatalities were recorded in the incident.
The Ghana National Fire Service said investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire, while authorities continue to assess the full extent of the damage.
