A devastating fire has razed a three-bedroom boys’ quarters at Asuoyeboa in the Kwadaso Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

The incident occurred on the evening of Monday, August 18, 2025, destroying items worth thousands of Ghana cedis. Fortunately, no casualties were recorded.

Residents, in an interview with OTEC News reporter Kwame Agyenim Boateng, said the timely intervention of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) prevented the blaze from spreading to nearby houses.

The cause of the fire is yet to be established, as fire officials have launched investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Shaken residents are still coming to terms with the destruction, with many left to pick up the pieces.

The GNFS’s swift response is credited with averting a potentially larger disaster in the community.
