Asuom SHS boy's dormitory consumed by fire; arson suspected
A boy's dormitory of the Asuom Senior High School
in the Kwaebibirm District of the Eastern region
has been consumed by fire, Sunday. 

According to reports, the fire started in
the morning at about 7:00 am when students were
at church service, destroying several properties
belonging to the male students. 

In all, three rooms were affected by the fire with
one room completely consumed by the flames.  
A teacher of the school who doubles as
Assemblyman for the area, Abrefa Busia, he first
noticed smoke billowing from one of the rooms
which is very close to his residence. 

Mr Busia said students were called to help salvage
the situation while they waited for personnel of
the Ghana National Fire Service to help deal with
the situation.

He lamented, however, that students,
teachers and some good Samaritans gave up after
trying to put the fire out due to its ferocious
nature.


The Assemblyman said it took the timely
intervention of firefighters to put out the
consuming fire.
The Police said they suspect arson with two
people already in custody. Investigations have
started into the cause of the fire.
