What a great contest, All thanks to @steemghana and @awuahbenjamin for the wonderful opportunity.
The fire which started at about 12:20 pm on 21st November 2020 spread through a thirteen -bedroom house which contained only tenants.
Seven tenants who were in the building but managed to escape were injured and rushed to the hospital.
The immediate cause of the fire was as a result of one of the tenants forgetting to remove his iron from the switch whiles leaving in on and went to work. The iron over heated causing a blast and fire started flowing all over the room since there was a lot of flammable materials. No one had noticed it at first till the whole room was burning at a fast rate..the tenants next to the room in which the incident had started was fast asleep.. Fortunate,there were women sitting in front of my house which was jxt opposite the house which caught fire..
The women saw a lot of smoke above the house and they begun to smell burnt stuffs and quickly shouted out for help. We rushed to the place to realize that the fire has completely burnt the room and catched up with the next room burning really fast. A lot of people came around, we called a fire service whiles pouring buckets of water to minimize the outbreak.

In about 30 mins time, the fire service arrived but fortunately with an empty tank,they had thought it's a joke. They called their office to come with a tank full of water whiles they help us to remove the things in the rooms which wasn't caught up with the fire yet, especially the gas cylinders. Soon, they arrived and started quenching the fire whiles those who got hurt whiles trying to help us quench the fire with buckets of water were rushed to the hospital.
Soon, the fire was quenched totally and there were representatives of Sagani TV News investing on the incident. The Director, Mr Rafik Nasara confirmed the incident to Sagani TV News.
We had protected many of the properties whiles some were totally burnt. As for the owner of the room the incident started, his everything was totally burnt including his documents.
Well, the tenant in the room the incident started was called so he quit work and rushed to the scene. He was called Mr Asampana. When he arrived,he started crying because he realized he had lost everything he owned as a man including his CV. He knew he could loose his job at anytime because of the absence of his documents.
Mr Asampana and others whose rooms were burnt had to sleep on my house since they had no where to go at that moment.

The next day Mr Asampana decided to go back to his home town to make preparations towards the difficulties that might come on his way as he has no documents proving his identity any more.
That's a tragedy.
May Allah see us through. Great write up
