The Ghana National Fire Service is investigating the cause of the fire, which gutted the Battalion Market at Burma Camp on Saturday evening.

The fire started around 7 pm and partially destroyed 10 metal containers while seven wooden structures were totally burnt.

The Public Relations Officer of GNFS, Ellis Robinson Okoh in an interview with the GNA, said the Service received a distress call at 7:40 PM on Saturday and arrived at the scene at 8 pm.

With two fire tenders, the firefighters completely doused the blaze within 50 minutes. There were, however, no casualties.  Mr. Okoh said the weather condition is a contributory factor to the current fire outbreaks and appealed to all to take precautionary measures.

He urged the public to volunteer information to help establish the cause of the fires.
