An early morning fire on Monday engulfed the market at Trademore Estate, located off the Umar Musa Yar’Adua Airport Road in Abuja, News360 Nigeria reports

The cause of the fire remains unknown, but residents suspect it may have been triggered by an electrical fault. Joe, a resident, stated that he was alerted to the incident around 4 a.m., describing the situation as tense.

Efforts to contact the Federal Fire Service and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Fire Service were initially unsuccessful.

However, residents were able to alert the fire service at Dunamis Church, which responded around 5 a.m.

Joe later confirmed that firefighters from the EFCC and Sauka stations successfully extinguished the blaze two hours after it started.

The harmattan is a catalyst to fire. People should be careful during this December time.

Hope no lives was lost

Also, people should consider INSURING THEIR SHOPS.

Nigerian insurance companies have been essentially begging for business for DECADES. Yet, people no hear.

helinues:


Abeg those ones are scammers.

They must give silly excuses when it comes to taking responsibility for those who have been insuring with them.

Someone has been paying for years on Car insurance and when the car was stolen, they questioned him why didn't he have fence to protect his car.

Did they bother to ask if the person has fence or not when they have been collecting money for years

Miramonica:
you're right bro.

Leme add to this, please if you're a smoker, always quench the light of your cigarette before throwing it away.

Nobody said you shouldn't smoke your cigarette o, since it's what you've decided...but quench the fire before throwing it away.

Ciga light can ignite fire.

NamelessOGBENI:
Too bad!

Electrical fault?

As the FTC have rightly said, the harmattan could be a big factor and again, care must be taken in handling stuff or materials that are prone to fire outbreak.
