According to officials of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, June 7, 2026 following a heavy downpour. Firefighters from the Circle Fire Station and the GNFS National Headquarters were immediately deployed to the scene to carry out rescue operations.
