The fire, which occurred on Saturday, April 18, 2026, involved a warehouse belonging to Believe in God Company.
According to the GNFS, the fire was reported at 18:10 GMT and affected the top-floor warehouse of a single-storey building used for storing plastic disposable materials.
Firefighters from the Industrial Area Fire Station arrived promptly at 18:16 GMT, with reinforcements from the National Headquarters, Accra City, Trade Fair and Madina Fire Stations, supported by a turntable ladder from Tema.
