Kaduna fire service records two deaths, 81 incidents

The Kaduna State Fire Service said it recorded two deaths from 81 fire outbreaks across the state between March and April 2024.

Paul Aboi, the service’s director, made this known in an interview with NAN in Kaduna on Thursday.

According to him, two persons died while three persons sustained various degrees of injuries in the outbreaks.

Aboi said the fire service received reports of fire outbreaks in Kaduna, Zaria, and Kafanchan during the period under review.

He said that the fire service was doing its best to reduce the incidences of fire outbreaks in the state by sensitising residents on fire safety measures.

“Property worth N10 billion was saved from destruction within the period while property worth N2 billion was destroyed,’’ he said.

The director commended hospitals nationwide for their prompt attendance to the victims.
