A firefighter sustained injuries while battling a massive inferno that gutted two warehouses along Spintex Road in Accra on Tuesday night, October 14, 2025.
According to a statement from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the fire broke out at 34 Spintex Main Road, opposite Takyi Plaza.
The distress call was received at 8:04 p.m., and the first fire appliance from the Kasapreko Fire Station arrived on scene within four minutes, at 8:08 p.m.
Reinforcement teams from Nungua, Tema Metro, Headquarters, Trade Fair, and Motorway Fire Stations, together with the Ghana Armed Forces Fire Unit and four private water tankers, joined the operation.
The fire was confined at 10:20 p.m., brought under control at 11:30 p.m., and completely extinguished at 3:07 a.m. on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. The Director of Operations, DCFO Roberta Aggrey-Ghanson, led the firefighting efforts that eventually contained the raging flames.
Two warehouses, according to the GNFS containing sanitary wares, furniture, curtain fabrics, and other materials were completely destroyed. However, the swift intervention of the firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to a nearby three-storey showroom and adjoining structures.
One firefighter sustained injuries during the operation and is currently receiving treatment at the Police Hospital in Accra, the Public Relations of the Service confirmed in a statement.
The GNFS expressed appreciation to all supporting agencies for their collaboration and assured that investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire.
