<\/a>The cause of the fire that ravaged three offices of the Highways Authority is yet to be established as investigations are now ongoing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be looking out for possible causes of the fire, whether there was light at the time of the fire or if there was an electrical fault or any other ignitable materials in the building at the time\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n At the time of the fire, staff of the Authority stood outside as the entire building was cordoned off by the Fire Service.<\/p>\n According to an eyewitness at scene of the fire, the fire service\u2019s emergency numbers were called and for several minutes he could not get through.<\/p>\n \u201cI called the fire service line and for close to 10 minutes, they were just playing music, so one of the cleaners who had a bicycle had to ride to Makola to get them to come attend to the fire. And when they came, they did not come with a fire tender that had a ladder so they just wasted the water and had to wait for several more minutes for a fire tender with a ladder to come in\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n Commenting on why their emergency number was not going through, DO2 Timothy Osarfo Afun said the number was busy.<\/p>\n He cautioned the public to stop calling the emergency lines recklessly as this could prevent genuine distress callers from reaching them.<\/p>\n No casualties were reported from the incident as most of the workers were yet to report to the office.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
