Firefighters from the Konongo-Odumase Fire Station have successfully contained a vehicular fire that broke out at Nnadieso Township in the Asante Akim South Municipality early Monday morning.
According to the Ghana National Fire Service, the station received a distress call around 12:28 a.m. and quickly dispatched a crew to the scene.
Upon arrival, the firefighters found a Man Diesel cargo truck with registration number BF 9339G703 engulfed in flames. The truck was loaded with boxes of Onga Cube products.
Eyewitnesses reportedly attempted to control the blaze with buckets of water before the fire crew arrived.
Firefighters then used a delivery hose to fully extinguish the flames, preventing further damage to property and nearby structures.
No casualties were recorded, and investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire.
Authorities have commended the Konongo-Odumase fire crew for their swift and professional response, which helped avert what could have been a major disaster.
