KAK-GEE Hostel, located in close proximity to Nduom School of Business and Technology in Ayensudo, experienced a devastating fire incident in the early morning of Friday, April 14, 2023.
Reports indicate that the fire broke out due to a gas leak, which was left unclosed in one of the rooms. Occupants of the hostel woke up to the smell of smoke permeating their rooms from the outside, and upon rushing out, discovered that one of the rooms was engulfed in flames, spreading towards the other rooms.
Swift action was taken as they contacted the National Fire Service, who promptly responded and contained the fire, preventing it from spreading further.
Our Reporter, Micheal Okyere, who is a mentee, witnessed the efficient and speedy response of the National Fire Service personnel, whose intervention prevented the entire hostel from being consumed by the fire.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or loss of life, but properties within the affected room were reduced to ashes. Further investigation by the fire service revealed that the fire was caused by a gas leak, left unclosed in the room where the outbreak occurred.
Reports indicate that the occupant of the room was not present at the time of the incident, as she had left early in the morning.
