The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has successfully contained a fire outbreak at a woodwork shop in Ho, averting what could have been a major disaster.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, and prompted a swift response from the Volta Regional Command of the GNFS.
Firefighters, operating under the supervision of Assistant Divisional Officer I (ADO I) Anthony Akpabli, arrived at the scene and moved quickly to bring the situation under control.
Their timely intervention prevented the fire from spreading to nearby structures, including the Letsa Shopping Gate, an MTN mast and other adjoining buildings.
Two fire tenders were deployed for the operation; one from the Ho Municipal Fire Station and another from the Volta Regional Headquarters, allowing crews to effectively suppress the flames and secure the area.
No casualties were reported, and investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire.
