Five persons, multimillion-naira properties in Kano rescued from fire
The Kano State Fire Service reported that it saved five persons and properties worth N446 million from 55 incidents recorded in May.
It said five persons lost their lives while properties worth N273 million were destroyed by fire during the period.
The public relations officer of the service, Saminu Abdullahi, said Wednesday in Kano that the service responded to nine emergency calls and seven false alarms from residents of the state.
Mr Abdullahi advised the public to handle fire with care during Eid-el-Kabir.
“Make sure you stay away from smoke to avoid being choked and turn off electrical appliances before leaving your homes, shops or marketplaces,” he said.
