Fire has destroyed properties worth thousands of cedis at Odornaa near circle.
Our colleague Edward Kwabi visited the affected area and reports, over 300 people have been rendered homeless as a result of the fire.
Panic broke out yesterday 23rd November, 2010 at Odornaa along the railway line near Circle at about 2 pm after a disastrous fire broke out.
According to an eye witness, the fire started when a broken cable caught fire after coming into contact with a cooking device.
People stared in awe as their homes and shops erected along the railway line went up in flames.
Over 150 structures have been affected leaving over 300 people displaced.
The fire service arrived at the scene about 15 minutes to save the situation but there was little to be done as the fire had already gutted structures.
A young woman in her mid-twenties lamented the loss of her baby but authorities of the fire service are yet to confirm.
The regional fire commander, Edwin Blankson said the fire service is yet to establish the cause of fire.
