The Kano State Fire Service on Thursday disclosed that an early morning fire razed an entire building at Unguwar Hotoro Arewa area of the Kano metropolis.
The spokesman, Alhaji Saidu Mohammed, who confirmed the incident in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano, said that it happened at about 02:52 a.m. on Thursday, Dec.13.
He said the inferno affected four rooms, two parlours, three toilets and one kitchen in the residential building, adding that the cause of the fire was still being investigated.
“We received a distress call in the early hours of this morning (Thursday) from one Malam Muazu Mohammed at about 02:52 a.m. that there was a fire outbreak at a dwelling house in their area.
“Upon receiving the information, we quickly sent a fire engine to the scene at about 03:00 a.m., to bring the situation under control,’’ he said.
Mohammed, however, advised residents to be more careful, especially during the dry season and to desist from using instruments that could trigger a fire in their environment.
