The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) successfully contained two separate fire incidents in Igando and Anifowoshe, Ikeja, on Monday evening, with no fatalities reported. In the first incident, at 23 Shaba Ojo Street, Igando, around 7:37pm on Sunday, a two-storey building caught fire due to an electrical surge, with the blaze originating from a two-bedroom flat.
The unoccupied apartment was quickly doused by LASEMA's Dolphin Team, working alongside the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service. No casualties were recorded, and the response team departed for base at 8:24pm.
The second fire incident occurred at 11:30pm on Sunday at 61 Abeokuta Street, Anifowoshe, Ikeja. The fire, caused by an electrical surge in an air-conditioning unit, broke out on the top floor of a building. LASEMA's Tiger Squad, along with the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, responded to the call, containing the blaze to the affected bedroom and extinguishing the fire.
Again, no casualties were reported, and the team returned to base after completing recovery operations. LASEMA emphasized its commitment to disaster risk reduction and prompt emergency response in Lagos.
