VIDEO: 3 CHILDREN BURN TO DEATH IN NKWANTA FIRE
Residents at Nkwanta in the Volta
Region are in a state of shock after three children were burnt beyond
recognition when fire razed their home, Wednesday.
The fire which started this
morning is suspected to have been fuelled by gallons of pre-mix fuel
stored in the house.
Attempts by the officers of the
Ghana National Fire Service and bystanders to rescue the children who were
trapped in a room proved futile.
According to Mr. Robert Avegidah,
the assemblyman for the area, although the GNFS responded immediately after
being alerted, the raging fire was stronger than the fire tenders they
brought. Three tenants' rooms were also burnt to the ground.
Although the cause of the fire has
not been established, he said what compounded the situation was
that "there was some amount of the fuel left in his room" of the
father of the victims deals in premix fuel.
A co-tenant said the father of the
victims tried to run out of the room with one of the children after an
explosion in the room, but failed to rescue any of the children.
He is reported to be responding to
treatment at the Nkwanta District Hospital after he suffered serious
burns.
