An accusation has been leveled against the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) by a trader at the Kantamanto market, who claims that the first fire tender to arrive at the scene of the devastating fire brought petrol instead of water.
According to the trader, who witnessed the fire, the arrival of the GNFS team initially brought hope that the blaze would be quickly extinguished.
However, to their horror, the fire tender allegedly brought petrol, which only served to fuel the inferno and contribute to its rapid spread.
The trader’s accusation has raised serious questions about the GNFS’s response to the fire and their preparedness to handle emergency situations.
The Ghana National Fire Service has yet to comment on the allegations, but an investigation into the matter is expected to be launched.
The Kantamanto market fire has left many traders counting their losses, and the trader’s allegations have only added to the outrage and frustration.
Some have also accused the NDC of intentionally causing the fire.
As the investigation unfolds, many will be watching to see how the GNFS responds to these serious allegations.
