The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) successfully contained a massive fire outbreak that destroyed two warehouses at 34 Spintex Main Road, opposite Takyi Plaza in Accra on the night of Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

According to a GNFS statement dated October 15, 2025, the distress call was received at 8:04 pm, and the first appliance from the Kasapreko Fire Station arrived at the scene at 8:08 pm.

Reinforcements were later dispatched from the Nungua, Tema Metro, Headquarters, Trade Fair, and Motorway Fire Stations, as well as the Ghana Armed Forces Fire Unit to contain the fire.

Four private water tankers also supported the firefighting efforts.
