Makola Fire: Infuriated Fire Victim demands that the Fire Department be converted into a market

An outraged Makola fire victim has proposed that the Makola Fire Service Office be transformed into a store, claiming that the service members are useless. 

Her remark comes after the Service's failure to put out the fire, which started as a small blaze but quickly spread to neighbouring businesses.

The fire service office, which is only a few meters away from the fire outbreak, is believed to have stated that they do not have water in the fire tender, resulting in the fire's rapid spread, which has damaged buildings and cost millions of cedis.

However, Awonye, a market woman who only wanted to be named Awonye, blamed the fire service's lacklustre approach for the fire's spread. 

“The fire began as a tiny blaze, but the firefighters are only now arriving," she said.

"They arrived and informed us that there was no water, so we departed. The Makola fire station should be turned into a market, in my opinion. Madam Awonye, angry, yelled, "They're useless!"

Many traders have been depressed as a result of the fires, with some falling and requiring hospital care after witnessing their stores engulfed in flames. 

Meanwhile, the Fire Department's Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr Ellis Robinson Oko, has assured the public that the fire is under control, underlining that their inability to combat the fire from the start was due to a lack of logistics.

However; One of the victims, who talked to Joy News, said she had lost millions of cedis in the blaze, which is quickly spreading to nearby establishments. 
Meanwhile, Fire Service personnel are working hard to extinguish the fire, despite reports that a lack of water in their fire tender contributed to the spread of the fire. “I've lost over GH70,000.00 worth of goods,” a victim lamented.
