A one-year-old baby girl has been burned in a fire that engulfed two wooden structures in a house at Mataheko, a community in Accra, near the Mars Business School.
The burned body was turned over to police and deposited in the morgue at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for preservation and thus further inquiry.
When the fire destroyed the structures, the baby was sleeping.
Besides that, all other inhabitants of the affected structures were unharmed.
The fire was put out by firefighters from the Regional Headquarters Sub-Station and the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Fire Station.
They stated that as a safety measure, they had to request that the Electricity Company of Ghana temporarily disconnect power from the area.
“Tragically, a one-year-old baby girl was lost to the inferno,” officials of Fire Service explained.
