A church and 20 wooden structures were destroyed by fire at Agbogba in Greater Accra, while several vehicles were burnt at a separate blaze near Fise Junction.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) confirmed the incidents in a Facebook update on Monday, November 9.
The first fire broke out at Agbogba Yellow Container in the Ga East Municipality, affecting True Heaven Way Ministry, two metal containers and the contents of all the structures involved.
A crew from Madina Fire Station responded to the emergency, assisted by a fire tender from GNFS Headquarters. Their efforts stopped the flames from spreading to nearby properties.
The firefighters also protected neighbouring buildings, about 10 wooden structures and two additional metal containers from the fire.
“No casualties were recorded and the cause of fire is under investigation,” the GNFS said.
The incident occurred only days after a weekend fire destroyed a restaurant close to the Agbogba Yellow Container landmark. That operation also involved personnel from Madina Fire Station and GNFS Headquarters.
The latest fires followed a separate blaze at a scrap warehouse at Circle Railway in Accra on Sunday.
A second fire was reported on Monday evening at a vehicle repair shop near the overhead bridge at Fise Junction on the Nsawam–Amasaman highway.
Several vehicles and other property were destroyed in that incident. Firefighters had not yet reached the scene when the report was made.
The cause of the Fise Junction fire had not been determined by Monday evening, and no information on casualties had been released at the time of filing.
The Ghana National Fire Service said it was stepping up fire-safety education across the country. It has also urged members of the public to report emergencies quickly using the toll-free 192 or 112 emergency numbers.
