A devastating fire has destroyed a six-room residential bungalow at Block D5, Ifedapo Estate, Amuloko area of Ibadan, Oyo State, causing losses worth millions of naira.
The Chairman of the Oyo State Fire Services Agency, Mr Maroof Akinwande, disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen on Saturday.
According to Akinwande, the incident occurred on Friday when the agency received a distress call at exactly 2:53 p.m. from one Odetunde. Firefighters, led by ACFS Amoo, were immediately deployed to the scene.
“Upon arrival, it was a bungalow of six rooms engulfed by fire, and our officers swiftly got into action and prevented the fire from spreading to neighbouring buildings,” he said.
The chairman said no casualties were recorded and attributed the blaze to a domestic gas cylinder that was left unattended and exploded, spreading to the entire building.
“Properties worth millions of naira were destroyed by the fire,” he added.
Akinwande also urged members of the public to promptly alert the fire service and provide accurate addresses whenever emergencies occur.
