First bank & Fidelity bank on that Kamo plaza are burnt equally.

Has it finally been controlled? What I've seen is heartbreaking.

This is heartbreaking! Especially for the lives lost.

I think Obiano should face reality and get to work! Commissioning private businesses' projects all over the place and running so much media charade should become secondary. A standard fire fighting service should be a given in Onitsha with lots of industries and businesses. Onitsha should have at least 5 standard fire stations!

He can borrow a leaf from Lagos State that has a fair enough fire service and then a well-equipped and very responsive LASEMA Response Unit- LRU.

This escalation can be avoided

Denis Memorial Grammar School. One of the best in the country/west Africa. I pray it doesn't get affected.

As OP has said...everyone around the area should think safety first.. RUN FOR UR LIVES!!

Take your rubbish elsewhere. Onitsha metro has at least 6 standard fire service stations and all of them are fully equipped.

Abagworo:
The 2nd time in one month that Anambra fire service has been found helpless. The one at Nnewi had Ifeanyi Ubah intervene with personal trucks while this one at Onitsha took Delta State fire service to control and yet Obiano is busy commissioning private companies without looking at the basic. To the best of my knowledge Peter Obi invested a lot in fire service which makes it easier for Obiano to ride on but I'm afraid he lost it.

Abagworo:
Okpoko fire service with one truck.

You must be an old boy of the school going by your remarks. LUX FIAT!

This is an accident but a preventable one.

I mean the houses around.

How can a petrol station be situated in a residential area? Office complexes in such proximity? People has been shouting about the way people are granted licenses to build petrol stations in such places by relevant authorities, yet they keep deaf ears.

Petrol stations should be far away from crowded areas as anything can happen @ anytime.

Something like this happened last year @ nkpor junction ( oando) and also @ ugwumba junction( Elohim) it affected some properties around, still licenses are being issued on daily basis for sitting of petrol stations in such areas. Govt should take note of this.



That kamo plaza is housing many offices including banks.

Gucciboss:
Nigeria as a whole is dysfunctional

LasGidiOwner:
Our fireservice in Anambra is working perfectly well. There was a fire disaster in owerri just last week and fire service came all the way from Onitsha to put it out but not before the entire filling station was gutted. It is paining you frustrated hag that we are commissioning projects both private and state owned while your useless state has been pillaged into worthlessness and backwardness by your hopeless gov. By the way has your useless governor paid salary of over 10months arrears?

Yes there was same incident at Orji town in Imo State but the ready and working fire service made sure only the tanker truck was affected as you can see from these pictures. Even the petrol station remained intact. Obiano should buckle up and stop showmanship.

Scores escaped death as a petrol tanker burst into flames at a local petrol station in Orji, Imo State.
With timely intervention from NEMA, Fire Service and NSCDC, inferno was controlled and quenched with less damage to properties and no loss of life.
The incident happened on Friday, January 27, when the loaded truck was discharging the content at the petrol station.

LasGidiOwner:
Shut up, the incident was in Owerri and not Orji. It happened in the heart of Owerri and there was no Imo state fire service anywhere to save the situation until it came all the way from another state but they could not meet up as everything was burnt to the ground.

Okorocha should at least set up a fire service in the state because Anambra under Obiano has fire service stations in Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia, Nkpor, etc
