Firefighters from the Akropong Fire Station have salvaged property worth an estimated GH¢35,000 after a domestic fire broke out at House No. 342 in Mampong-Akuapem on Monday, December 8, 2025.
The crew, led by ADO I Dicka Carlos Sackitey, arrived at the scene at about 10:16 a.m. to find the ceiling of a storeroom engulfed in flames.
The affected room contained disposable cups, takeaway bags, plastic bottles, and other packaging materials.
Fire officers quickly deployed water from a Dual Purpose Tender, bringing the blaze under control within minutes and completely extinguishing it in about an hour.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the fire started from a wooden chair stored among other personal belongings before spreading to the ceiling area.
Although four wooden chairs, some timber rafters, and roofing sheets were destroyed, firefighters managed to save the majority of the items, preventing what could have been a much greater loss.
