[contextly_sidebar id=”m4VHXuuvjkVM1gMTgs6AvYGIj51fXBTA”]Some eyewitnesses told Citi News<\/strong> they saw someone trying to burn refuse behind the medical stores hence ascribing it to a probable cause of the fire.<\/p>\n Speaking to Citi News <\/strong>the Deputy Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the GNFS, Prince Anaglatey says they have been able to put out the fire, adding that \u201cWe are still on the ground trying to investigate the cause of this fire and we are also trying to cool the temperature of the burning materials.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEvery fire scene is taken to be a crime scene where you investigate every possible cause to the fire so we are not ruling out anything, we are only continuing to do our investigation as normal as it is done for any fire; be it minor or major fire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Though the PRO said the fire has been extinguished, he explained that \u201cWithin the debris there can still be combustion going in, that is what we are trying to avoid so that there will not be re-ignition. So what we are doing now is to ensure that the debris beneath the coverage of the\u00a0 remaining of the materials are also properly reduced below the ignition temperature.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Minister of\u00a0Health, Dr. Kwaku Agyemang-Mensah has assured that the count has enough drugs and medical equipment that could last within three months<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin Allotey Akweiteh\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n![\"fire](\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/fire-at-tema-2.jpg\")
