Two firefighters were injured while battling a fierce late-night fire that engulfed a two-storey, eight-room building at Adjiringanor near Ability Square on Friday, November 14, 2025.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) said the call came in at 9:32 pm, prompting the Legon Fire Station to deploy its first crew, who arrived at 10:03 pm. Additional teams from Madina, Adenta, the National Headquarters, and a private water tanker later joined the operation as the flames intensified.
Fire personnel fought the blaze for hours, bringing it under control at 12:16 am before finally extinguishing it at 1:08 am. Seven of the eight rooms on the top floor were destroyed, but firefighters managed to save one room, the entire ground floor, and the surrounding structures.
The GNFS confirmed that two firefighters sustained injuries in the line of duty. One suffered a stab wound to the left arm, while the other was struck on the left shoulder by a falling block. Both have since been treated and discharged from Unity Clinic in Madina.
In a Facebook post, the GNFS is appealing for public assistance to identify the individual who stabbed one of the firefighters during the operation.
“We have a special reward for anyone who helps us find the person who stabbed our firefighter and absconded during firefighting at Adjiringano last night. Kindly call this number 0291702096 now with information to help get this wicked fellow arrested to face the law.”
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
