Maaha Beach Resort has suffered a severe fire outbreak on Wednesday evening, May 28, 2025.
The fire outbreak destroyed several beachfront structures, including accommodations around its main pool area.
According to reports, the fire started around 7 p.m. in the kitchen of Vision Beach before spreading to parts of the Maaha Beach Resort.
Maaha Beach Resort is a popular destination in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region.
An eyewitness asserted that the fire tender from the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant could not immediately extinguish the blaze due to the nature of the fire.
She narrated, “The fire didn’t start from our end but from Vision Beach. It started from the kitchen through its front desk before it spread to our place [Maaha]. The Ghana Gas fire tender was even passing when the fire started but they said they couldn’t help because of the chemicals they use.
She further said the delay of the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant fire tender led to them calling the fire tenders based in Axim and nearby areas to help.
“So we called the personal assistant of the MP to call Axim and other tenders to come and help,” she added.
