On Friday, May 2nd, at about 5 p.m., attention was called when a building on the other side of Amuwo Odofin went up in flames.
The start of the fire could not be traced, but it was suspected to have been triggered by an electric spark, as there was nothing that could have started a fire in the building before it all started.
Boys around the area were first responders to attempt to help quench the fire with their buckets of water just before firefighters showed up. This act helped save shops around the building, especially the mattress depot directly in front of the building, from getting caught up in the flames.
Fortunately enough, thanks to the intervention of firefighters who later came to the scene of the incident, no lives were lost, but properties were lost in the flames, and a few things were salvaged.
Who else heard or saw this happen??
