Kaduna, Dec. 12, 2025 (NAN) The Kaduna State Fire Service and Public Safety has recorded 50 fire outbreaks, saved properties worth N 1.1 billion between September and November, 2025.
Mr Paul Aboi, Director of the agency, who made this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Kaduna said the fire incidents were recorded across Kaduna, Zaria and Kafanchan Zones.
Aboi said the service recorded 50 fire outbreaks within the three month period, which resulted in two deaths, 19 injuries, and seven rescue operations.
He added that property valued at N1.1 billion was saved, while losses amounted to N2.7 billion, following major incidents in densely populated communities, residential areas and business locations.
According to him, most of the fire outbreaks were traced to electrical faults, careless handling of fire, and poor storage of flammable materials, stressing that the service responded promptly to reduce casualties and damages.
Aboi said the agency had intensified public enlightenment, strengthened rapid response units, and expanded community sensitisation to curb fire incidents, especially during the harmattan season.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
