Kano: Gezawa residents warned about fire outbreak during harmattan
The Kano State Fire Service said it has sensitised residents of Gezawa LGA in Kano to preventive measures against fire outbreaks during the harmattan season.

“The sensitisation was conducted as part of the service’s ongoing efforts to safeguard lives and property across the state.
“Residents should take extreme caution in handling fire and flammable materials, especially during the harmattan period, as dry weather conditions increase the risk of fire incidents,” it said.
