Preliminary report on fire outbreak at 16, Ladipo Street, Mushin

The agency received distress calls to the 767/112  and responded to a report on the above. Upon arrival at the scene of incident, it was discovered that a mattress shop was the initial source of the fire.

The flames subsequently escalated to other closely adjoining shops and the joint responders led by the Agency DG/CEO, Nigeria Police, LASG fire, LRU fire, LNSC  worked together to curtail the inferno from escalating to more adjoining buildings.

There have been severe operational challenges due to huge crowds who have failed to comply with authorities and maintain appropriate distance for responders to work freely.

The closely located buildings have proven to be a challenge for curtailing the spread of the fire. The spread has been stopped and the operation is ongoing to fully extinguish the flames and determine the root cause.
