Fire ravages Ojo Army barracks

MILLIONS of naira worth of goods were, early Saturday, destroyed as fire ravaged the Ojo Military barracks .
The fire occurred at the Mammy market of the millitary barracks when most occupants had closed for the day. 
Six shops were razed by the fire , which was later put out by firemen from Ojo and Isolo fire stations of the Lagos State Fire Service .
The timely arrival of the firemen saved scores of other shops which were situated close to the burnt shops .
Director of the state fire service , Rasak Fadipe, confirmed the incident to  Sunday Tribune and added that “only six out of a row of 19 shops were affected.” 
Fadipe also stated that the fire started from an electric spark from one of the affected shops and then it grew uncontrolably until firemen arrived at the scene .
Fadipe also urged residents of the state to always switch off appliances  whenever they were not in use.
