The Kano State Fire Service saved 89 lives and properties worth N45million in 50 fire incidents recorded in the state last month.

Saminu Abdullahi, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Service, gave the statistics  in a statement he released to newsmen on Friday in Kano.

He said that nine lives were lost and properties worth N25.8 million destroyed by fire during the period under review.

“The Service responded to 62 rescue calls and 18 false alarms from residents of the state,” he added.

Abdullahi attributed most of the fire incidents in the state to careless handling of cooking gas and  the use of inferior electrical appliances.

He advised residents to always handle fire with care to prevent outbreak.

The PRO also urged parents to stop their wards from swimming in open water. (NAN)
