An early morning fire on Thursday gutted a warehouse belonging to the Coscharis Group in Apapa, Lagos, destroying petroleum products and other goods worth millions of Naira.
The Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Rasaq Fadipe, who confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, said that the fire started at about 5am and raged for hours.
Fadipe said the intervention of the fire service personnel prevented the fire from affecting nearby structures.
“We got a call about the fire at about 5am and moved into action. It was a serious fire because the goods stored in the warehouse were mainly lubricants and other petroleum products.
“We deployed men and equipment, including our specialised foam chemical truck, and with the support of volunteers around, we were able to put the situation under control, “ he said.
Fadipe, who could not ascertain the cause of the fire, told NAN that it had yet to be totally extinguished as at Thursday afternoon. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
