A one-year-old baby girl was burned in a fire that overtook two wooden buildings at a residence in Mataheko, Accra, near the Mars Business School.
The burnt remains was turned over to authorities and deposited in the mortuary at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for preservation and further examination.
When the fire destroyed the structures, the infant was sleeping.
Apart from that, all other inhabitants of the impacted structures were unharmed.
The fire was put out by firefighters from the Regional Headquarters Sub-Station and the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Fire Station.
They stated that as a precaution, they had to request that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) temporarily disconnect electricity from the area.
"Tragically, a one-year old baby girl was lost to the inferno," officials of Fire Service explained.
The service said, "the charred body was handed over to the Police who thereafter deposited the remains at the Korle-Bu morgue for preservation and further investigation".
