A building without fire escape? Haba. Even 1004 has fire escape stairs by the side. This is pure negligence from the building management and the renters. Everyone is quick to shout GOD forbid but we should always hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I suspect this fire. Someone trying to burn some documents for cover up gone wrong |

Nigeria pays only lip service to safety issues. Every office building should have a safety officer who would have carried a risk assessment on the property and the mitigation steps in event of fire. Escape routes would have been well defined and suitable fire fighting apparati placed in strategic positions. |

madridguy:Se be na building wey get fire hydrant go fit provide all the aforementioned above. If u see all these victims non of them are average staff but senior staff, who only care about their pocket. They won’t bother to check if theres ordinary fire extinguishers or hydrant let alone providing training for all the staffers, all they care about is there pocket. Over here in California ur job must provide a periodic training to all staff and any staff who refuses the training on fire or other trainings should kiss his or her job goodbye. Modified: and if fire truck is on emergency all vehicle on the road are required by law to stop otherwise you would be cited. REST IN PEACE TO THE DEAD |

madridguy:I just tire ,I've been asking exactly the same questions. Still no detailed comprehensive report on this unfortunate incident from the government. |

madridguy:The bolded. The management without investigating the cause of the fire ...will be reviewing safety measures. Really? What are the fire safety requirements by the City? ... smoke alarms? ...fire extinguishers? (for cars but not for buildings?) ... Emergency exits? ...and are they enforced? When last ...if ever was this building inspected for fire safety ? ... were the exits locked?..chained?.. preventing quick and easy exit? ...was the staircase free of obstacles? ...or used as storeroom? Are fire drills done? |
| Re: FIRS Mourns Four Assistant Directors, Managers Killed In Afriland Towers Fire by madridguy(m): 11:11pm On Sep 17, 2025 |
Even some companies in Nigeria also do periodic fire drilling to train their staffs on little things to do incase of fire outbreak. ZaddyJ: |

Wait, Did they not have laid down procedures should a fire outbreak occur? No extinguishers, fire alarm, sprinklers etc? Does it mean that all those high rise buildings in cms and VI are just big for nothing? Rip to the dead. Someone's negligence has cost many lives. It doesn't have to be this way...... |
| Re: FIRS Mourns Four Assistant Directors, Managers Killed In Afriland Towers Fire by 66uvie: 11:32pm On Sep 17, 2025 |
sammyscholar:We are not ready for the 21st century, no fire alarm system, no fire rated doors, no sprinkler systems, no fire marshals |

sammyscholar:You're very correct, the smoke kills faster than the fire. Ideally, high rise buildings and any building that occupies more than 50 people should have safety officer/fire warden. |

madridguy:You are very correct. UBA House at Marina have Standby Fire Fighters some years ago when I was there for project. I don't know how regularly they carry out fire fighting exercises. I believe a detachment of Fire Fighting unit of UBA House is supposed to be at Afriland Towers. Such buildings are supposed to have smoke detectors, Fire alarms, Fire Suppressants and standby Fire Officers to tackle fire outbreak before the arrival of Fire Service. Periodical Fire Prevention Audit is also necessary to ascertain the condition of various Fire prevention installations. Fire always break out in Lagos during dry season and December because of Xmas explosives. This one that it has been raining heavily and there are serious fire outbreaks - electrical installations related fire incidences, the Safety department of corporations need to be at alert. May their souls rest in peace. |

Safety culture in Nigeria is amongst the lowest in the world . No emergency preparedness in place , such a modern building with no water hydrant and it was approved . As usual fire brigade approach would be employed then with time everything goes on as normal. We are alive by Gods mercies . |
