Some parts of the studio used to host Nana Ama McBrown’s popular “Onua Showtime” on Onua TV have been ravaged by a fire incident. The incident has left fans and viewers concerned about the fate of the beloved show.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) Headquarters Substation responded promptly to the emergency call, effectively managing to contain and extinguish the fire. The quick action of the firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to other areas of TV3’s premises, as confirmed in an official statement on the GNFS Facebook page. The statement highlighted the successful efforts of the GNFS crew in preventing what could have been a much more catastrophic situation.
According to the GNFS statement, “Management of TV3 Ghana Limited praised firefighters for the prompt response in attending to a fire involving a studio used for ONUA Showtime with Mcbrown. A crew from the Headquarters Substation upon a call arrived on time to help prevent the spread of fire on the premises of TV3.” This swift response undoubtedly played a crucial role in safeguarding the property and preventing potential harm to individuals present on-site.
While the fire incident caused damage to portions of the reception area of the studio, the main studio area and backstage were fortunately spared from the flames. This spared the production equipment and set that are integral to the show’s production. The management of TV3 expressed their gratitude to the GNFS for their diligent efforts in averting what could have been a major disaster. The GNFS’s timely intervention not only saved valuable assets but also ensured the safety of the staff members and anyone else within the vicinity.
Although the event understandably left some staff members shaken, the good news is that no human casualties were recorded. The safety protocols and quick response of the firefighters played a significant role in ensuring the well-being of everyone involved.
As of now, Nana Ama McBrown, the host of Onua Showtime, has not yet commented on the incident. Fans and well-wishers are anxiously awaiting her response, hoping to hear her thoughts and reactions to the unfortunate event.
The fire incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety measures and the invaluable role played by emergency responders in protecting lives and property. The incident also underscores the resilience and unity demonstrated by the TV3 community in the face of unexpected challenges. As investigations into the cause of the fire continue, it is hoped that the necessary steps will be taken to prevent such incidents in the future and to ensure the continued success of Onua Showtime and other productions hosted in the affected studio.
