More than 50 squatters have been displaced, and several other shops razed after a dawn fire ripped through a section of a wood market at Kaase-Angola in the Ashanti Region.
The fire, which started around 4 am on Sunday, destroyed wood milling machines, wood products, timber logs, and items belonging to the displaced squatters.
This is the second fire incident recorded in the Ashanti Region over the weekend after a seven-bedroom apartment was also razed in the Tafo Municipality.
The victims in the Kaase-Angola incident say they have no place to lay their heads and are looking elsewhere to get help from friends and relatives.
