The Greater Accra Regional Fire Officer, ACFO II Rashid Kwame Nisawu, has confirmed that two individuals sustained injuries while attempting to contain a fire that engulfed a warehouse at Lartebiokorshie.
According to ACFO II Nisawu, a firefighter and a civilian were injured after falling from the top of the burning structure during the operation.
Emergency medical personnel at the scene provided immediate treatment before both were transported to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. They have since been treated and discharged, and are reported to be in stable condition, according to the Accra Metro Fire Commander.
Although the blaze has been largely brought under control, isolated flames remain. Excavators have been brought in to assist firefighters in accessing and extinguishing deeply embedded hotspots.
Currently, five fire engines and tankers are stationed at the site, working to fully douse the remaining smoke. Authorities are optimistic that the area will be declared safe for residents to return by evening.
