Fire has destroyed one of the Ahantaman Girls’ Senior High School dormitory blocks in the Sekondi -Takoradi Metropolis.
The fire outbreak occurred last Wednesday, July 17, when all the students had left for their respective classes.
Five of the students had all their belongings burnt.
Chairman of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) of the School, Charles Mintaba, who confirmed the incident said the cause of the fire was suspected to be an electrical fault.
“Though the exact cause of the fire has not been established, an electrical fault is being suspected,” he added.

He said, “Trunks, beds, bed sheets, provisions, books, and other belongings of students amounting to thousands of Ghana Cedis have been completely burnt”.
He indicated that the Ghana Fire Service personnel from Sekondi quickly rushed to the scene to douse the fire.
“It will be difficult for their parents to replace the burnt items immediately. We are, therefore, calling on organisations, philanthropists and other individuals to come to the aid of the school and the students,” he pointed out.
