A devastating fire broke out at Tantra Hill Court Pub on Monday, February 17, destroying over 50 shops and homes, though no casualties were reported.

The blaze, which started in a wooden structure around 1 p.m., quickly spread after multiple gas cylinders exploded, causing widespread destruction.

The Ghana National Fire Service responded promptly but found much of the area already engulfed in flames.
