An inferno has destroyed a dormitory at Ascension Senior High School, at Atonsu in the Ashanti Region.
The fire was said to have occurred in the afternoon at the school in one of the rooms. Sources claimed a gas cylinder may have caused the fire that devastated the school.
The fire quickly spread the entire first floor of the building. Fortunately, the Ghana National Fire Service responded promptly and managed to quench the flames before it could spread to other parts of the school.
Authorities are currently investigating the exact cause of the fire to prevent future incidents.
Despite the extensive damage to the dormitory, fortunately, the fire was free from any casualties.
