A fire destroyed a boys’ dormitory at Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School. The blaze started Tuesday morning in the Oti Region. It burned a dormitory room completely. The roof structure and all belongings inside are now lost.
Several students collapsed during the incident. They passed out from exhaustion and panic. The students tried to save their possessions. They also helped control the spreading fire. School officials and locals provided aid. All affected students have now received care.
The Ghana National Fire Service faced major challenges. Their fire tender in the Kadjebi district is not working. Responding personnel had no operational truck. They used limited methods to fight the flames. This constraint hampered their firefighting efforts significantly.
The cause of the morning fire remains unknown. The event highlights critical infrastructure problems. Reliable emergency equipment is essential for safety. The community hopes for swift investigations and upgrades. Such incidents risk student health and property.
