A fire on Thursday night demolished the popular entertainment center, Vienna City Night Club at Circle.
The fire, which started around 8:00pm, ravaged the entire plush entertainment center according to Citi News’ Kojo Agyeman, who was at the scene.
The interior of the nicely decorated night club, was badly damaged with rubble scattered all around.
The roofs of the building caved in as fire fighters struggled to douse the fire.
It is unclear what started the fire, but workers of the facility were said to be preparing the area for the night’s activity when the fire started.
The Vienna City Night Club is close to a shell fuel station where a storey-building housing Cal Bank is also situated.
On the other side of it, is the Barclays Bank Branch at Circle. The club is also few meters away from the Goil Fuel Station at Circle, where over 100 people were killed on June 3 2015, in a fire and flood disaster.
About five fire tenders struggled to extinguish the fire because of the combustible nature of materials in the building. An eyewitness told Citi News the items that got burnt were mostly made from wood.
The eyewitness, who gave his name as Godfather, told Citi News the fire was started by an electrical fault from a wire in one of the sound speakers at the Night Club.
The fire outbreak according to Kojo Agyemang, affected the flow of traffic on the major Kwame Nkrumah interchange as police created a road block to cordoned off the fire scene.
The facility was recently renovated with these statutes placed at the entrance.
