Personnel from the Fire Service brought the blaze at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) office near the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange under control after an over two-hour battle.
The fire is said to have started around 8 am and though the service’s personnel were on the scene on time, some upset eyewitnesses noted that it took over an hour for them to start fighting the fire.
The service is now trying to quench the fire completely.
Responding to these concerns in a Citi News interview, Elis Robinson Okoe, the Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Fire Service, explained that the firemen had to assess the situation carefully before jumping into action.
