A house beside Umendu bazzaar building in ibiewe, ring road, benin city is on fire, the fire service was alerted on time and they responsed promptly to the distress call, but the firemen brought an empty fire fighting truck, positioned it stractegically in front of the burning house, hurried down from the truck and began to look at the house as it goes down in flame like other onlookers. i say shame on the Edo state fire service, God help Edo state.
