Good morning. I hate being a harbinger of bad news. But I have to report this. This is an eyewitness account.

On my way to work this morning, I saw a huge plume of fire spewing into the air. The fire burning in a neighbourhood that's so compacted with most of the houses being batchers. These house are so close it's even a great discomfort to find a narrow road leading in the neighbourhood.

As I quickened my feet and moved towards it I saw the locals bring in out their belongings in distress and panic mode. I just knew the fire was going to engulf a few more houses;the same fear the locals shared.

I tried calling a friend to warn her about the incident, but she didn't respond. I believe she was also responding to the incident. As someone withas a few years in fire fighting and prevention experience, I knew what to do. I tore a NEPA bill from one of the houses around and called a number on it to ask the responder to cut power supply to the Rumurolu axis. Moments later the power was out.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I saw the Fire Service headed the fire scene. Some proactive persons may have made that call. I assisted in creating a space big enough for them to operate, directed them, asked the locals to evacuate the scene and the firemen bravely swung into action.

As at the time of snapping the scene, the fire was about 80% under control. I had to leave for work.

I believe there wrong be any casualty. But a few persons will be rendered homeless in the interim.

Lalasticalala, please do the needful.

@ OP, You are our Hero for the day. What a wonderful sacrifice. May God comfort them.

I'll see her later in the evening. I couldn't tell what exactly led to the fire but I'm suspecting electrical fault. It's the most prominent cause of domestic fires.

I dint want to sound wicked, but a fire would have ensured better planning of buildings..see how disorganised and unplanned those buildings are....mehn dat place na slum.

What a sad one, I'm happy the fire service were responsive. Kudos to them and op

You only stated the obvious fact. Most of our cities are not adequately planned with such emergencies in mind.

So this pics of a few dishointed buildings represents PH to you...please go and get sense.

I learnt something from you today..never knew that PHEDC bill was of any relevance other than preventing them from cutting off power..

I dnt pray for fire, but the knowledge u shared will come in handy whenever the need arises.

No sensible person prays for any emergency let alone fire but these incidents happen whenever the control measures are inadequate.

As a former fireman, I've trained my household on how to disconnect the home in case of a domestic fire, have fire prevention diagrams carefully placed in my house, have a potable for extinguisher. No taking of any chances.

Yes. The NEPA bill can serve other purposes. LOL!

Learning stops at the grave.
