It was a sad Wednesday last week when during the late hours of the day on the 27th of September, 2023, at about 11:30pm, a ghastly fire outbreak was recorded in the Festac Town community.
Somewhere around Festac Town at 1st Avenue, M close, a twin duplex was seen to be on fire, luckily, there were no casualties.
The origin of the fire was unknown and while people awaited the response of the Fire service, other individuals were already lending helping hands to put out the fire with buckets filled with soap and water.
The fire service eventually showed up 30 minutes after the fire had done some damage before they came to quench what was left of it.
