A/R: KWADASO WOOD MARKET RAVAGED BY FIRE FOR SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS.
The Kwadaso Wood Market in Kumasi, known for its vibrant trade in timber and wood products, has been struck by a catastrophic fire for the second time in two weeks.
The latest blaze erupted on the night of Sunday, January 19, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake and further compounding the woes of traders who were still recovering from the earlier fire.
Eyewitness accounts and footage from the scene depict a chaotic and heart-wrenching night as flames engulfed numerous stalls and shops, consuming everything in their path.
In the video, desperate traders can be seen battling to save their wares from the raging inferno while simultaneously calling out for assistance.
The fire, which broke out under unclear circumstances, spread rapidly due to the highly flammable materials predominant in the market, such as wood, sawdust, and chemicals used in timber processing.
