I have been seeing stories about the different fire incidents in Abuja and I wanted to share my experience with the fire service in Lagos.

My family lives around the Kosofe Local Government area of Lagos and towards the end of last year, a fire started within the compound. The fire spread to our building and luckily, there was nobody at home when it happened.

When our neighbors saw the fire, they quickly called the Lagos State Emergency number and within about 15 minutes, a fire truck with fire fighters were in front of our house.

The fire fighters were professional. They came with their equipment and they were able to put out the fire before it could spread to other parts of the house.

We thank God that no life was lost and the house is insured so we didn't have to pay much for repairs. Nairalanders, please try to get house insurance if you can afford it.

Lagos Emergency Toll Free Lines: 767 or 112

Hope this helps someone.
