FIRE GUTS DOWN A WAREHOUSE IGANMU

On Wednesday, a warehouse within a complex comprising five entirely detached warehouses located near Nigerian Breweries in Iganmu, Lagos State, was damaged by fire.

A diesel storage tank, a 33,000ltr tanker with no registration number, a tiny tanker with registration number XV555-FKJ, and a flat bus with an unknown registration number were also damaged by the fire.

As of the time of submitting this report, the reason of the fire outbreak was unknown.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed the occurrence and stated that no one was killed or injured as a result of the fire.

"Upon arrival at the incident scene, a warehouse within a complex housing five fully detached warehouses was found to have been razed by fire.

"Also totally burnt out was a stand-alone diesel storage tank, a 33,000ltr tanker with no registration number, a mini tanker with registration number XV555-FKJ and a fiat bus with registration number unknown.

"The fire has been extinguished, while dampening down is ongoing. However, the walls and pillars of the warehouse have been seriously affected by the intensity of the fire leading to various cracks and imminent collapse of the structure.

"The Agency's excavator will be required to pull down the warehouse structure in order to avert any crash on the responders and users of the environment," remarked Oke-Osanyintolu.
