According to the Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS), Margaret Adeseye, the agency received an emergency call at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27. This prompt alert enabled the fire department to respond swiftly to the crisis.

Firefighters from three Lagos-based fire stations - Dolphin, Ebute Elefun, and Oba Onitolo - rapidly deployed to the scene to combat the raging blaze. Their efforts focused on containing the fire, which had spread through the studio area of the building. As of the latest update, the fire department is still working to completely control the fire and assess the full extent of the damage.
