Fire has destroyed a section of the College of Health Sciences at Bibiani in the Western North Region and has left two hospitalized at the Bibiani Government Hospital.
Three dormitories were burnt down completely, including items belonging to 186 students, on Tuesday, June 6, 2023.
Some students affected by the inferno disclosed that their mattresses, books, certificates, money, and other valuable items had been destroyed.
They appealed to authorities for support.
The Public Relations Officer of the Bibiani Fire Service, Raymond Appiah, said the office received a distress call from the college at around 11:06 a.m. reporting a fire outbreak.
“Upon receiving the message, a team of fire personnel was dispatched to the fire scene, and subsequently, the fire was brought under control from spreading to other areas,” he noted.
Meanwhile, the Municipal Chief Executive for Bibiani Anhweaso Bekwai, Paul Andoh, stated that the assembly would make all efforts to assist the victims and the entire college.
