A fire outbreak at Dagomba Line in Asawase, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, has resulted in the tragic loss of a young life.
The blaze, which occurred on Tuesday, claimed the life of a 3-year-old boy who was trapped in a burning wooden structure.
Eyewitnesses report that the toddler was taking a nap with his 12-year-old sister in their wooden structure home when the fire swept through.
Although the sister managed to escape the inferno, she was unable to wake her younger brother.
