Accra Warehouse Fire Still Burning Strong

A massive fire that broke out at a Chinese warehouse in Lartebiokorshie, Accra, is still burning days after it started on Tuesday, September 9, according to the Ghana National Fire Service. The blaze, which began around 4:00 p.m., has been difficult to control because the warehouse contained highly flammable goods including rubber slippers, leather bags, and other synthetic items.
