Kano Fire Service saved 135 lives, N34.6 million properties in June: Spokesperson
The Kano State Fire Service says it saved a total of 135 lives and property worth about N34.6 million from 42 fire incidents in June.
In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the service, Saminu Abdullahi, in Kano, 24 people, however, died and property worth N13 million were estimated to have been destroyed by fire during the period.
Mr Abdullahi said that the service responded to 77 rescue calls and 17 false alarms from residents. He attributed the fires to use of sub-standard electrical appliances.
He advised the Kano residents to handle fires with care to avoid inferno, ahead of the Sallah celebrations, and to abide by traffic laws to avoid road accidents during the celebrations.
