Aboi said the fire service within the period under review received reports of fire outbreaks in Kaduna, Zaria and Kafanchan respectively.
He said that the fire service was doing its best to reduce the incidences of fire outbreaks in the state through sensitisation of residents on fire safety measures.
“Property worth N10 billion was saved from destruction within the period while property worth N2 billion were destroyed,’’ he said.
The director commended hospitals across the state for their prompt attendance to the victims.
