 The Bantama Market has narrowly escaped a potentially devastating fire outbreak following a timely intervention by the Bantama Assembly Member, Hon. Kwabena Boateng, popularly known as Trouble, and his team of community volunteers.

Preliminary information indicates that the near-fire incident was allegedly caused by a mosquito coil left burning carelessly at a shop in the market, creating a potential fire hazard that could have resulted in significant damage to traders’ properties and investments.

Hon. Kwabena Boateng and his volunteer team reportedly responded swiftly to the situation, helping to prevent the incident from escalating into a major fire outbreak.

The timely intervention is believed to have helped protect millions of Ghana cedis in merchandise, business assets and other investments belonging to traders who depend on the market for their livelihoods.

The incident has once again highlighted the importance of community vigilance, prompt emergency response and cooperation between local leaders and residents in safeguarding public spaces.

For the numerous traders operating at the Bantama Market, the prevention of a possible fire disaster represents a significant relief, considering the devastating financial and social consequences such incidents can have on businesses and families.

The incident also serves as a reminder to traders and shop operators to exercise extreme caution when using mosquito coils, candles and other potential sources of fire within commercial premises. Such items should never be left unattended or placed near combustible materials.
