Fire gutted the Consultancy Services Department of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) on Wednesday evening. Fire fighters resorted to three fire tenders in a bid to stop the raging inferno which started after what officials called �electrical fault�. The students were due to write a mid-semester examination but the flames, which reduced the control centre of the GIMPA Consultancy Services to ashes forced authorities to postpone the examination. �We saw thick smoke coming out of the rooms and fled. It was serious and I am sure lives would have been lost had the fire service not arrived in a good time,� one student said. Five people sustained minor injuries in the process.
