A fire officer tragically lost his life while responding to a fire incident at the Auto Parts Market, Coal-Camp in Enugu State.

The Director of Enugu State Fire Service, Mr Okwudili Ohaa, confirmed the incident, stating that the officer collapsed and passed away after successfully extinguishing the fire that had broken out in the Enugu Motor Spare Parts Market.

Ohaa explained that the fire service arrived at the scene promptly, deploying three fire trucks to combat the blaze, which originated from a shop in the market around midnight.

He added that despite the loss of life, the fire was ultimately contained, preventing further damage to goods worth millions of naira.

He, however, didn’t disclose the cause of the fire.

Ohaa said:

“He was a dedicated officer, who loved to lead by example. He was my best fire officer. He was not actually supposed to come to work because he was still recuperating from an illness but due to his passion for the job, he decided to join the team.

“We have been able to quench the outbreak that took us more than two hours. It was a huge one.”

Meanwhile, the President, Enugu Motor Spare Parts Dealers Association, Mike Nome said:

“I got a call from one of our security men around midnight that our market was on fire. Our security men promptly rushed to stop it when they noticed the fire. But when they got to the shop, they noticed that it was further locked with burglar proof.

“As they were battling to break into the shop, the fire escalated into the next shop which operated a restaurant and immediately a gas cylinder inside the restaurant exploded, thereby spreading the fire to several shops.

“When the fire went beyond us, I called the state fire service around 1.00 am and they promptly came in less than 15 minutes to stop the fire from spreading to other areas.”
