Witnesses state that the residents expressed frustration over the time it took for the fire service to arrive at the scene. This delay, they claim, worsened the situation.
The Ghana National Fire Service has confirmed an incident where their officers were confronted by members of the public. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the delayed response is underway.
