A devastating fire swept through the Federal Institute of Industrial Research (FIIRO) office in Oshodi, Lagos, on Christmas Day, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The inferno, which broke out around midnight, has extensively damaged property worth millions of naira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency responders from the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, in collaboration with the Lagos State Emergency Management Authority (LASEMA), swiftly sprang into action to contain the blaze. As of 4 a.m. on Boxing Day, rescue operations were ongoing, focusing on preventing the flames from spreading to adjacent offices and buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far. However, the cause of the fire remains unknown, pending further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FIIRO office, located near the Cappa Bus Stop in Oshodi, is a key research institution in Nigeria, focusing on industrial research and development. The extent of the damage to the facility’s infrastructure and research equipment is yet to be assessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though no casualty has been recorded, the fire has extensively destroyed property worth millions of naira.This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety and prevention measures, particularly in high-risk areas such as offices and research institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
