Tanga Radio gutted by fire

Management and staff of Tanga Radio, a local FM station in Bolgatanga are still counting their losses after fire gutted the station in the early hours of yesterday. Though the cause of the fire has not yet been established, many have attributed it to the severe thunder and lightning that struck the region the night before the fire outbreak. No casualty was recorded. The Chief Executive Officer of the station, Bawa Agana, told Radio Ghana that personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service did what they could to control the inferno but to no avail. He said studio equipments running into thousands of Ghana cedis were all burnt. He described the situation as pathetic and was hopeful that the station will bounce back with the support of individuals and organisations. Mr Agana, thanked residents of the region for their show of concern and urged them to come to their aid.
