Recently, a gas explosion rocked Ajao Estate, thanks to the bravery of men of the State Fire Service and other first responders, the fire was quickly extinguished, thereby minimising damage.
For instance, the fire episode that once killed a family of seven, in Lagos in 2015, was reportedly caused by candlelight which was not put off at night. Risky acts such as storing of petroleum products at homes and reckless use and storage of cooking gas are common causes of fire outbreaks in our society. Storing of petroleum products at home is especially a sheer act of inconceivable thoughtlessness that must be discouraged.
People using gas for a domestic or industrial purpose need to be more vigilant. Ovens and stoves should be shut off to prevent an outflow of inflammable and food flaming. Enlightenment advocacy on fire prevention and management must not be left in the hands of government alone. Everyone must be involved. Consequently, every adult resident must educate young ones on all safety measures in order to reduce to the barest minimum the incidence of fire in the state.
