Tip Toe Lane fire: Traders counting their losses [Photos]

Shop owners whose shops were razed down by the fire outbreak at Tip Toe Lane at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra were on Sunday counting their losses.

The traders were seen rummaging through the debris to see what they could salvage, while others gathered in small groups discussing Saturday night’s unfortunate incident.

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) managed to douse the fire and no casualties were recorded.

On Wednesday, there was a fire outbreak at the Goil Fuel Station also at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle near the GCB bank towers.

Over 90 people perished in the fire while others sustained serious injuries.
