Properties worth hundreds of millions of naira were lost after a massive fire gutted buildings and shops in Warri metropolis in the early hours of today.

The fire incident, attributed to an electric spark, began around one am this morning and lasted till 3.20 am.

The Town Crier learnt that no life was lost during the nasty episode, but a victim, Miss Grace, a post graduate student, recounted her ordeal to reporters:

“I woke up to ease myself and I smelt something like a wire or fuse burning, so checked around the house to see if any of our sockets were burning, but I found none in our house. As I was easing myself, the smell became stronger, I opened the door and walked outside; behold what I saw was smoke and fire emanating from one of the shops close to our house . All my certificates, from primary school
to university are gone "

Mrs Rose Debekeme, whose shop's worth millions of naira was also destroyed by the inferno recounted experience this way, “I was in my house sleeping when the fire incident occurred. Somebody called me and said, ‘madam Rose fire has destroyed everything in your Shop.’ I started shedding tears. All my goods and the monies I kept in the safe are gone."
However, the Chairman of the community, Mr Samuel Edema, told reporters how the fire was brought under control.

"We had a distress call from our people about the fire outbreak, so I called the State Fire Service and Shell Fire Service came to our aid, while Hon Vincent Okudolor quickly drove down to Shell yard Ogunu. It took the intervention of SPDC to put out the fire though they came an hour after calling because they are third party."
