A timely intervention by the Ghana National Fire Service prevented the inferno from causing further havoc.
Hon. Dr. John Darko and Chairman Luqman visited the area to console the affected artisans and assess the extent of damage.
Speaking to the media on arrival, Chairman Luqman said: "This is a very sad incident and we are shocked because people's properties have been destroyed.
"However, I am glad our member of Parliament has promised some form of assistance to the victims. We are also appealing to the government to provide a fire station for the people of Suame Magazine."
Hon. Dr. John Darko corroborated Chairman Luqman's calls for a fire station in the area and will work judiciously to ensure they get one.
As investigations into the cause of the fire continues, Hon. Dr. John Darko advised Suame Magazine artisans to desist from irresponsible burning of waste materials after the close of work.
