This is contained in a statement signed by the service Public Relations Officer, Alhaji Saminu Abdullahi, in Kano.

According to him, the service responded to 84 rescue calls and 33 false alarms from residents of the state.
The spokesperson attributed the fire incidents to careless handling of cooking gas and the use of sub-standard electrical appliances.
He urged the people to handle naked fire with care to prevent outbreaks, cautioned motorists to obey traffic regulations to avoid road crashes and called on parents to be vigilant and monitor their wards, especially when swimming in ponds and playing in dangerous places.
