Coconut Grove Regency Hotel Is 'Intact' Despite Fire – Management 

The management of Coconut Grove Regency Hotel in Accra has stated that the hotel and its restaurant, guest rooms and conference facilities are intact and were not touched by the fire. 

A statement signed by the Corporate Affairs Manager, Richmond Keelson said somewhere between 5.00 and 5.30pm, staff of Amansan Television (ATV) noticed fire burning from the direction of an air conditioning unit in their studio.  

When alarm was raised, everyone ran to safety and an urgent call was made to the Ghana National Fire Service to come and help put out the fire. Two fire tenders came soon followed by three more.  

It says after about an hour and a half, the Fire Service personnel were not able to contain the fire at the studio. As a result, the fire spread to other offices on the same block as the ATV studio.  

According to the statement, the ATV studio and four commercial offices of Groupe Nduom are on the same block, but not the Regency Hotel and its restaurant, guest rooms and conference facilities.
