According to an eyewitness, Isaiah Bentley who narrated the incident on the radio said he tried to save the deceased but he and others around found it difficult to rescue them due to the nature of the building and how the place was congested.

The Assistant Fire Officer in charge of Operations, Gomoa Buduburam, ADO2 Patrick Banwa when contacted confirmed the incident and appealed to Ghanaians to install fire alarms in their houses to prevent such fire outbreaks and deaths.

 

Meanwhile, the bodies of the deceased have been deposited at Winneba Trauma and Special Hospital Mortuary while investigation has commenced.
