Firefighters from the Kukuom and Goaso Fire Stations in the Ahafo Region have successfully brought under control a fire that broke out at the Kwapong Nursing and Midwifery Training College on Friday morning.

The distress call was received at 7:12 a.m., and the Kukuom fire crew arrived at 7:30 a.m. Reinforcement from the Goaso Municipal Fire Station followed, and the combined efforts of the two crews brought the blaze under control at 8:45 a.m. and finally extinguished it at 10:26 a.m.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire started in one of the rooms on the first floor of a one-storey dormitory block and spread through six other rooms on the same floor, destroying the roof, ceiling, personal effects, books, beds, and bedding. Two fire extinguishers on the affected floor also exploded during the incident.

Firefighters were able to salvage the ground floor of the affected building from the fire ruins.

Investigation is underway to determine the actual cause of the fire, and fortunately, no casualties were recorded.
