Four rooms on the 6th Floor of Unity Hall, Block B at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi have been gutted by fire. A student, Hammond Kwabena Jamal told Citi News that the fire started around 3pm. �As about 3:00pm I got information that the block was on fire so I decided to rush down there. When I got there and one of the rooms was on fire, that was Block B, the sixth floor I don�t know the exact room number.� He said the Fire Officers have arrived at the scene to put the fire out. �It started for a while and after about 15 minutes the Fire Service reported, and then they were trying to get the water into the room but it was proving quite difficult. After a while the fire got into the next room. As at now I can say four rooms are burnt. The fire stopped by itself but the fire service personnel are still here,� he added. The extent of damage and the cause of the fire are yet to established.
