Just a fire fighter, was given a wonderful honour, we can never find this kind of honour in Nigeria only for the corrupt presidents. Please God what have we don't in Nigeria to be the worst country in the world. please change our leaders mindset with everything possible.

Everything about the fire has been massive, from the sheer scale of destruction that cremated entire neighborhoods to the legions of people attacking it.


About 8,300 firefighters from nearly a dozen states battled the third largest wildfire in state history, aided by 78 bulldozers and29 helicopters.


The cause remains under investigation. So far, firefighting costs have surpassed $117 million.

Woooooooooow

explorers .... please where do you get these wonderful topics that you always post here.

It is actions like this that inspire citizens to want to protect and defend their country even if it cost them their life, i am sure when this firefighter's son and other young men see this they will be inspired to become firefighters. Our own hobby is to be celebrating mediocrity, i remember seeing a thread on nairaland hyping one Nigerian female firefighter that am sure hasn't even put of candle before talkless of inferno just because of her looks

E go even hungry you to server your father land
With love and strength and faith, Knowing fully well that your country cares,
Even when you are gone......

It's this kinda statements that discourage citizens that wants to protect and defend their country not to defend.

Dreaming of the day Lagos Ibadan express way will look like that beautiful freeway Explorer posted.

Rest well firefighter.
