A warehouse that is into importation of drinks, Flux Logistics, yesterday, was gutted by fire at Second Gate bus stop, Oba Akran Way, Ikeja.
The incident, which happened at 8.30 am, was said to have started from a warehouse and spread to the entire company which imported drinks and foreign materials.
According to the South-west Zonal Coordinator for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibrahim Farinloye, the Berger Paints Fire Service worked assiduously to prevent the fire from spreading to SKG Pharmaceutical Company.
“The Berger Paints mobilised their resources from about 500 metres to carry out the intervention.
The SKG Pharmaceutical Company Fire Hydrants in their premises could have assisted greatly but guards on duty could not access or operate the hydrant,” he added.
NEMA is, hereby, urging all Nigerians to be cautious of the delicate season that can lead to immense losses as a result of negligence or unsafe practices.
Farinloye also warned that the transition from the dry season to the wet season has always been very critical and dangerous in all years due to negligence or unsafe practices.
The Director of State Fire Service, Mrs. Adeseye Margaret Abimbola and about seven fire fighting appliances, two LASEMA LRU Appliances and Berger Paints Fire intervention succeeded to bring the fire under control
