Abossey Okai spare parts dealers did not hear good news on Sunday, September 8, 2019, as fire gutted some of their shops.
This happened in the night when most of the traders were not around.
An initial assessment by officials of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) faulted the burning of worn-out tyres close to the shops as the cause of the outbreak.
Eye witnesses say the shops caught fire at about 4pm Sunday. Fire service personnel arrived at about five and battled the inferno for at least two hours.
The extent of damage is not yet known. Police have cordoned off the area to continue an assessment.
