The Kaduna State Fire Service says it recorded 37 fire outbreaks and saved property worth N400 million across the state in January.
Paul Aboi, head of the fire service, disclosed this in an interview on Friday in Kaduna.
He said the fire cases affected residential houses, shops and fuel stations.
Mr Aboi said two persons lost their lives during the incidents while men of the service rescued one person with four others who sustained injuries.
“Two persons lost their lives, while property worth N196 million were destroyed by fire,” he said.
Mr Aboi said property worth N400 million was also saved during the period under review.
“I will use this opportunity to draw the general public’s attention to handling fire with care to avoid fire incidents, especially during this harmattan period,” the fire service chief stated.
Usman Mazadu, the executive secretary of Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency, called on the residents to provide enough ventilation in their various houses when cooking with gas.
He advised that gas cylinders should be kept outside the house and called on all stakeholders to join hands in checking the activities of illegal gas stations.
