A major fire has broken out at Oyoko Methodist Senior High School (OMESS) in the New Juaben North Municipality, destroying parts of the House 3 boys’ dormitory block.
Firefighters from both New Juaben North and South Municipal Fire Stations are currently on the scene, working to douse the flames and prevent the fire from spreading further.
According to Citi News sources, the blaze is believed to have started from the master’s bungalow — situated within the same block — before quickly extending to the boys’ dormitory.
Although the exact cause remains unclear, the master’s bungalow has reportedly been completely consumed by the fire, with all its contents destroyed.
A fire tender from the Eastern Regional Fire Command has been dispatched to reinforce municipal crews in their battle against the inferno. Fortunately, no injuries or casualties have been reported as of now.
Emergency services continue to monitor the situation as investigations begin into the cause of the fire.
