JUST IN: FIRE GUTS SECTION OF PLANK MARKET IN LAGOS
Fire gutted a plank market at Pipeline Street in Ikotun area of Lagos State on Thursday, destroying a section of the market.
According to a statement released by the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, the inferno affected only four shops.
He said that the prompt response of the Agency’s Dolphin Response Team from Igando and efficient coordination of other responders at the incident scene, curtailed the spread of fire to adjoining buildings.
The LASEMA Perm Sec noted that preliminary investigations could not ascertain the cause of fire as at time of reporting this incident.
He also disclosed that there was no loss of lives and no injuries were sustained as a result of the incident.
This follows a report of another fire outbreak at the Federal Institute of Industrial Research (FIIRO) office in Oshodi earlier in the day.
LASEMA confirmed that the fire ignited as a result of overheating of the generator in operation.
The fire was also curtailed and there was no loss of life due to the incident and no injuries were sustained.
