Hiplife pioneer Reggie Rockstone has given a clear account of the kitchen fire that recently broke out at one of his establishments.
Speaking on Joy Prime, Reggie said the blaze did not involve anything mysterious or mechanical. It began when someone cooking plantain drifted off to sleep, leaving the food unattended.
“There were all kinds of rumours of how my place caught fire and what happened. It was human error.
“Someone was frying plantain, and the person went to sleep. She left the plantain on the fire and she slept off. Human error can happen to anybody,” he said.

Reggie indicated that the situation could have ended far worse if not for the quick reaction of a young girl who was present at the time and acted before the flames spread.
“It’s a young sister who saved the situation, we would have been arranging for a funeral. It was from my kitchen. We have a main place we cook from that’s in Achimota. It wasn’t even on a busy day,” he stated.
He described the call alerting him to the fire as deeply distressing, explaining that the news arrived during what had been a calm and uneventful afternoon at home.
“It has to be one of the most traumatic things that I’ve experienced. It happened on a calm Sunday when my wife and I were home. My phone rang and they told me the place was on fire,” Reggie Rockstone recounted.
