About four shops at Siwdo Kokompe, the largest cluster of mechanic
garages and shops in Cape Coast, were razed down by fire on Friday
morning.
The fire which started around 02:00 hours affected a break band repair
shop, a car door lock and handles repair shop, spraying and paint shop
and few other adjoining shops.
About three cars nearby, including a Hyundai Excel which had been brought for spraying were destroyed by the fire.
Personnel from Central Regional headquarters of Ghana National Fire
Service (GNFS) and Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly struggled to quench
the fire.
The traumatised shop owners arrived at the scene and looked on helplessly, as the fire was raging on.
Though Mr Francis Kwei one of the GNFS personnel could not confirm the
cause of the fire to Ghana News Agency, he did not write off the
possibility that the break band shop could be the source of the
disaster since it was the most affected.
He however said an investigation would be conducted to ascertain the actual cause.
