Fire has gutted parts of the Job 600 building in Parliament

Although the cause of the fire is yet to be established, reports indicate that a storeroom within the building has been burned.

Staff and other personnel who were at the building Were quickly evacuated to assembly points as officers worked to mitigate the ravaging fire.

According to the Greater Accra Commander of the Ghana Fire Service, ACFO 1 Roberta Aggrey Ghanson, no casualties have been recorded so far.

She confirmed to reporters that some rooms had indeed been damaged by the fire.

“Around 9:45 am we received a distress call and in less than 5 minutes our appliance was here. What we are seeing now is a fire that has affected one of the rooms. It is like a store room because we have some storage items there. So, our aim now is to get the fire confined. After the fire is confined, then we know how to extinguish it. But the most important thing for us now is to confine the fire so that it doesn’t travel to other unaffected rooms.

“If we knew what caused the fire then it would be after our firefighting. But at the moment, the situation is very calm and everybody should put their heart at rest,” she stated.
