A massive fire has gutted multiple two-story buildings in Kumasi’s central business district, leaving several shops in ruins.



The blaze erupted around 6 a.m. at the bustling Blue Light Arena, popularly known as Adum PZ near Hello FM, and spread rapidly before firefighters could contain it. 



As the flames consumed structures, desperate traders forced their way into their shops, frantically tossing out goods in an attempt to salvage their wares.



Most of the affected businesses specialized in mobile phones, accessories, jewelry, and clothing, with losses expected to be substantial.



Eyewitnesses suspect that the fire was caused by an electrical fault, pointing to a flickering electricity pole that allegedly sparked and ignited the top floor of one of the buildings.



Amid the chaos, Hello FM’s Programmes Director, Nana Ama Ataffuah Quainoo, confirmed that staff had to be evacuated as the fire inched dangerously closer. She, however, expressed concerns over what she described as a delayed response from fire personnel.



Eventually, multiple fire tenders arrived, but firefighters struggled to bring the situation under control, battling both the intensity of the flames and the complex layout of the affected buildings.
