Fire incidents are on the rise in Lagos.
The State Fire Service attended to six cases on Saturday. The Director of Fire Service, Rasaq Fadipe warned Lagos residents to be more safety conscious as the dry season approaches.
“We attended to a fire call at 11 Ihuntayi Street, off Oba Oniru way in Lekki; there was also a fire outbreak which affected two buildings of eight rooms each at Muri Ojora Street, Amukoko, caused by fuel storage.
“Then, a confectionery factory at 5 /6 Peter Olu Ajayi Street, Agbado was gutted by fire, but our quick intervention saved the day; a restaurant at Ijaiye, Ogba also caught fire, thankfully, we were able to contain the fire there so that it does not spread into other shops and a bank beside it.
“There was also a call of a drunk driver who was involved in a lone accident at Ebute Ero. By the time we got there, policemen were already at the scene and the man identified as Kasumu claimed two of his passengers fell into the river.
“But a search was conducted and no one was found in the river. You can see that most of the cases were caused by carelessness. People have to be careful especially now that the dry season is near,” Fadipe said.
