A fire has destroyed some of the stores at the Ose Main Market in Onitsha, Anambra State.
The fire occurred at around 1.02 am on Saturday, however the cause has not yet been determined as of the time of posting this article.
Drums of chemicals are sold at the stores, which are at 4 Ajasa Street.
Martin Agbili, the fire chief for Anambra State, confirmed the occurrence in a statement and stated that firefighters who were dispatched right away to the area in response to a distress call battled the fire all night.
The Anambra State Fire Service received a distress call reporting a fire outbreak at No. 4 Ajasa Street, Ose Main Market, Onitsha, at approximately 1:02 am on Saturday, he claimed.
“We arrived at the fire scene right away with our fire engine and our always-ready, daring Firefighters. We acted quickly, suppressed the fire, maintained control over it, and eventually forced it to stop.
“No one was present when the fire started, thus the reason is unknown. Despite the fire destroying around three shops, no one was killed despite the intense fire. We stopped the fire from spreading to nearby shops, which allowed us to preserve a lot of things.
It’s crucial to remember to turn off all of your electrical and electronic devices, especially when they’re not in use.
We must be aware that the harmattan is at its height. Avoid doing anything at this time that could start a fire.
