We all rushed down to the place, i participated actively in getting water from the 'well' while some other guys pour the water at the house, but our efforts were frustrated as the fire keeps gaining momentum, it has already crossed to the next flat through the ceiling the thick smoke was getting thicker, then the occupants of the flat started throwing their property out from the apartment

Chai, i went back to the directory NYSC gave me, got a number, its Police not Fire Service nor NEMA, called them anyway then they called fire service and 15mins later wallaah, sirens everywhere fire service arrived.

. . . and 30mins later the fire has been controlled after a 'big fight' and we could hear the chief from inside the major fire zone shouting orders, reduce the pressure!! roll up!! It is contained!! With cheers and happiness we congratulated them and some guys were already asking them what they will drink.

Blyss: Humm, so Nigeria doesn't have a national emergency response number, like 911 here in the US? [size=13pt]Exactly. The pictures and the OP's detailing are encouraging though. They definitely deserve credit for their work. There's always room for improvement however. I was watching AM Express one time, and a police chief gave an 11-digit number for a dysfunctional line lol. E go better ![]() It must anyway. They need to cut that 15-minute arrival in half. I don't know the traffic situation in Abuja, but a lot can happen in 15 minutes. Well done to them anyway.[/size] |

Blyss: Humm, so Nigeria doesn't have a national emergency response number, like 911 here in the US? We had 199 when Nitel was functional (1960s, 70s, 80s & early 90s). Since Nitel's demise we have different emergency numbers for different states/networks. It's 767 for Lagos State. 3 Likes |
