Firefighters from both the New Juaben North and South Municipal Fire Commands are currently battling a fierce blaze that has engulfed the House 3 boys’ dormitory block at Oyoko Methodist Senior High School (OMESS) in the New Juaben North Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The cause of the fire, which broke out about an hour ago, remains unknown. However, preliminary information suggests the fire may have originated from the master’s bungalow—located within the same block as the dormitory—before spreading rapidly to the adjoining boys’ dormitory.
Citi News has gathered that all items in the master’s bungalow have been completely destroyed by the fire.
A fire tender from the Regional Fire Command has been deployed to support municipal firefighters in their efforts to extinguish the blaze and prevent further damage.
So far, no casualties have been reported.
