A recent fire in Konongo has left several residents without homes. The fire started on Saturday evening. It destroyed many wooden buildings near the railway line.

Ebenezer Ekow Aidoo, the Municipal Chief Executive for Asante Akyem Central Municipality, has issued a warning. He told affected residents not to rebuild their homes at the same spot.

The Municipal Chief Executive cited safety concerns as the main reason for his advice. Rebuilding in the same location could pose future risks.

The National Fire Service is investigating the cause of the fire. Details about the exact cause are not yet available.
