A crew from the Central Regional Headquarters Substation of the Ghana National Fire Service, swiftly responded to LPG explosion incident at Ntrano near Cape Coast.
Upon arrival, the Crew noticed four people sustained varying degrees of burns, the victims were rescued and handed over to the National Ambulance Service to be transported to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital for treatment.
The incident occurred after the victims filled an LPG cylinder and attempted to connect it to a burner. A faulty valve seal caused a gas leakage, which ignited upon contact with a naked flame, leading to an explosion. The remaining gas in the cylinder was safely disposed of by the fire crew.
