A fire that engulfed several makeshift commercial and residential structures near SoccerBet at Tudu in Accra has been brought under control, authorities have confirmed.<\/p>\n

The blaze, which broke out earlier on Wednesday, prompted a rapid response from the Ghana National Fire Service, with four fire engines dispatched from the Accra City, Ministries, Industrial Area fire stations and the Service\u2019s National Headquarters to tackle the inferno.<\/p>\n

Firefighters battled the flames for several hours, preventing the fire from spreading to nearby structures. Officials say no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

Following containment, personnel are conducting overhauling operations to extinguish lingering hotspots and fully secure the area.<\/p>\n
