What Federal Fire Service is saying

The Federal Fire Service spokesman said, “To firefighters, there could be a smoke without fire but to civilians, every smoke is caused by fire,” adding that the service got the call at about 7 a.m. and immediately sent men from three stations – Garki, Federal Secretariat and Wuse.

“The situation is totally under control and did not disturb the business of the day,’’ he added.

Meanwhile, the Finance Ministry, through its spokesman Mr Olajide Oshundun, revealed that the fire started from an exploded battery and that the fire was put under control in about 20 minutes.

“Only the battery room compartment at the basement of the ministry was affected; the fire did not affect any other part of the ministry,” Oshundun said.
