Fire on Monday gutted the Nodu Okpuno Mata foam depot in Anambra.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Anambra Fire Service chief, Martin Agbili.
According to him, at about 5:39 p.m., the firefighters received a distress call of a fire outbreak at Mata foam depot, Nodu, Okpuno.
“We immediately deployed our fire truck and our brave firefighters to the fire scene. The firefighting operation was very successful as we were able to fight, stop, control and extinguish the fire to a standstill,” he said.
The fire chief said they were able to save a lot of mattresses in the depot.
“We also saved all the surrounding residential homes around the fire scene,” the fire service director added. “We want to use this medium to thank the general public who assisted us during the operation and also those that put the call across to us.”
According to Mr Agbili, January and February are the peaks of harmattan in Anambra and fire outbreaks are usually experienced.
