A fire that ripped through a compound home and damaged 21 beds at Anloga in the Oforikrom Municipality of the Ashanti Region on Friday, October 27 has displaced more than 50 people.
The fire has also damaged properties worth thousands of Ghana cedis.
Firefighters are still investigating the source of the fire, which began at 10 a.m. and took more than an hour to put out.
