Fire destroys Konkomba market

Fire has engulfed part of the Konkomba Market near the Agblobloshie market in Accra this afternoon.

The fire is said to have destroyed over 100 wooden shops and residential structures, eyewitnesses told Joy News’ Joseph Opoku Gakpo.

More structures are expected to be affected as the fire keeps spreading. “It doesn’t look like it is under control,” Joseph observed.

According to Joseph, about three fire tenders are battling the raging fire. Difficulty in getting access to the fire area is hampering the work of the fire personnel.

Curious onlookers who have thronged the place are equally making things difficult for the fire service personnel, but police personnel are at hand to keep the people at bay to enable the fire officers do their job.
