Fire ravaged houses in Akatsi-North

Three houses were destroyed, and 25 people, including 17 children, left with nothing, except the clothes they were wearing, following a fire outbreak, said to have been started by two kids roasting groundnuts.
The incident took place at Atanve Number Two in the Akatsi North District.
A source told the Ghana News Agency that at about 2:00pm on Saturday, Joseph Sadziko and Michael Asitor, aged five and three years respectively, decided to roast groundnut in the absence of their parents.
But as Asitor tried to lift the bowl of groundnuts from the fire with a piece of cloth, it caught fire and in a panic he threw it  away torching the thatch roofing as the two ran out of the kitchen without raising alarm.
