Mr Ofosu Boateng said the fire started at midnight and was detected by people in the area who raised the alarm and called the Fire Service station in the town. He said because the Suhum Fire Service Station had no fire tenders, they could not fight the fire and that it took volunteers three hours to bring the fire under control.
