The Lagos State Fire Service (LSFS), as part of its efforts to curtail fire outbreak, has warned residents against living negligent lifestyles.
The Head of LSFS Public Affairs Unit, Mr Jamiu Dosumu, gave the warning in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.
The LSFS spokesperson gave the warning on the heels of another fire outbreak at Yaya Close, Off Casco Street, Monkey Village, Domorose by Old Ojo Road, Agboju Amuwo of Oriade LCDA Lagos- State on Sunday
NAN reports the fire outbreak happened barely one week the state recorded an explosion at Soba, Abule Ado, within the same FESTAC vicinity on March 15.
Although Dosumu said there was no casualty he, however, said that residents needed to be more careful in the handling of household items to prevent fire outbreaks.
He said that from the service’s preliminary finding, the cause of the fire outbreak could be traced to careless handling of combustible household item.
“Combustible household items are items that can easily go up in flames,” he said.
Dosumu said that preliminary investigations conducted by the service traced the combustible item to generator or electronics.
“The LSFS final investigation will reveal the final fact of the household item that actually led to the fire outbreak,” he said.
Dosumu emphasised that no life was lost in the Sunday fire outbreak. (NAN)
