Multiple eyewitness accounts say that the fire started from one of the offices of the station but with the Ghana National Fire Service not responding to their call early, traders and head potters (kayayeis) had to come together to put out the fire. One of the witnesses explained that he was with the police commander of the station when the distress call got to them of the fire. "I was with the commander when they called us that there is fire inside here. I removed the guns and after that and then I started asking for water," he explained. The fire destroyed documents, furniture, electronic appliances, as well as other valuables within the station.
