3 football pitch-size Kingdom Books Warehouse on fire
Fire has gutted a three football pitch-size main warehouse of Kingdom
Books and Stationery at Prampram in the Greater Accra region.
Firefighters are having a torrid time in dousing the fire five hours
since it started. Properties mainly office stationery and furniture
worth millions of Ghana Cedis have been consumed by the blaze which has
affected four of the warehouses leaving six untouched.
The fire started around 7am Sunday and its cause is unknown. The
warehouse serves as the main storage depot of the stationery firm in
Ghana.
Five fire tenders have been deployed to the scene to salvage the
situation. According to fire officials they are having challenges with
access to water to combat the fire.
“The company itself has fire hydrants but unfortunately the pumps
failed and was restored later but the pressure is not effective,”
Divisional officer Grade 1 Osafo Affum of the Ghana Fire Service at Tema
told the media.
Kingdom Books is yet to officially comment on the fire incident.
Kingdom has over 20 years experience in supplying quality office essentials, equipment and furniture.
