At 1336 hours on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, the GNFS received a distress fire call reporting a fire outbreak at a warehouse belonging to Peace Trading Company at Oyibi Sasaabi-Gbortsui on the Oyibi–Dodowa road.
Two (2) fire engines from Dodowa and Katamanso Fire Stations, supported by three (3) private water tankers from Oswal Construction Ltd., were dispatched.
The first appliance from Dodowa arrived at 1343 hours. The fire was confined at 1443 hours, brought under control at 1601 hours, and fully extinguished at 1650 hours.
The blaze destroyed assorted paints, furniture, bedsheets, diagnostic devices, etc., stored in the warehouse.
Fortunately, no casualties were recorded. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Kudos to DO I David Hojisky, Dodowa District Fire Commander, and his crew led by ADO I Damsah for their swift intervention that saved the warehouse and nearby properties from total ruin.
