A fire outbreak has gutted portions of the Resurrection Power Church in Kasoa, leaving congregants and residents in shock. The incident occurred on March 30, 2026, at the well-known place of worship in the Central Region.
Eyewitnesses report that the flames intensified rapidly, engulfing sections of the church building before emergency services could arrive. Nearby residents and passersby rushed to the scene in an attempt to control the blaze, but their efforts were limited as the fire had already spread significantly.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service responded promptly and brought the situation under control, preventing the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings in the densely populated area.
No casualties have been reported. However, the fire caused substantial damage to portions of the structure and destroyed several items within the affected sections. The full extent of the losses is yet to be determined.
The exact cause of the fire has not been officially established. Preliminary reports suggest it may have originated within a section of the church premises. Investigators are expected to conduct a full assessment to determine the origin, including whether electrical faults or other factors contributed.
Church activities are expected to be temporarily disrupted as leadership assesses the situation and determines the way forward.
Residents have expressed concern over the frequency of fire outbreaks in public spaces and are calling for stricter enforcement of fire safety regulations, including regular inspections of electrical systems in churches, schools, and other public facilities.
The Ghana National Fire Service has urged institutions to prioritize fire prevention measures, such as proper wiring, installation of fire extinguishers, and clear emergency exit routes.
Further details are expected as investigations continue.
