Eyewitnesses say the fire broke out suddenly and raged for over three hours before the Ghana National Fire Service managed to contain it.

The fire destroyed significant parts of the facility, including all the broadcasting equipment, while the building structure was saved.

Veteran broadcaster Kwame Adinkra, host of Pure FM’s morning show, shared his exhaustion and heartbreak on social media: “We’ve just spent over three intense hours battling the fire… Thankfully, we managed to save the building, but we lost all our studio equipment. We’ll be off air temporarily—but we shall rise again!”
