NAN reports that the swift action of the state Fire Service prevented the fire from spreading to other areas of the plywood market.

A firefighter, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that they received a distress call around 9:45 pm reporting the fire. The team quickly responded and managed to contain the blaze before it could extend further into the market.

“As you can see, only about five shops were affected by the fire in this large market. I cannot provide further details as I am not the Chief Fire Officer,” the firefighter said.

An eyewitness named Joe informed newsmen that he noticed the fire shortly after the nationwide industrial strike by labor unions had been suspended. He mentioned that several neighbors rushed to the market, and within minutes, the fire service arrived and extinguished the flames.

“I thank God and the fire service for their quick response, otherwise, it would have been disastrous,” Joe said
