Several shops at the Abossey Okai spare parts area in Accra have been burnt down by fire.
The specific area the fire affected is mostly occupied by second hand and brand new tyre dealers.
It is unclear what caused the fire which started at about 8pm, but the fire service personnel who arrived at the scene initially struggled to douse it.
They called for reinforcement before they finally managed to bring the raging fire under control.
According to them, “it was difficult to gain access to the fire.”
