A devastating fire has ripped through a cluster of fitting shops at Mempeasem, a community in Asawase, Kumasi, destroying more than 100 motorcycles, 10 vehicles, and 15 container shops.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, May 4, leaving a trail of destruction and forcing victims to count their losses. Properties worth thousands of Ghana cedis were reduced to ashes before firefighters could bring the blaze under control.
The fire affected a wide range of businesses, including a laundry service that employed about 30 workers, as well as 100 artisans and shop owners who depend on the area for their livelihoods.
However, Victims are appealing to the government and the general public for urgent assistance to help them recover.
Masa Kojo, an affected artisan, described the incident as a major setback, noting that many of them are struggling to explain the losses to their customers.
“This place has never experienced a fire outbreak since we started working here. As for what caused it, only experts can determine that. By the time the fire service arrived, the damage had already been done,” he said.
