According to him, the warehouse which is located at Second Gate bus stop, Oba Akran Way, Ikeja, housed imported drinks and some imported goods.

It took the efforts of Berger Paints Fire Service operatives to prevent the fire from spreading to SKG Pharmaceutical Company.
Mr Farinloye added that they (Berger Paints) mobilized their resources from about 500 metres to carry out the intervention.

Meanwhile, the SKG Pharmaceutical Company had Fire Hydrants in their premises which could have assisted in putting out the fire but the guards on duty lacked the technical ability on how to operate the hydrant.

NEMA through its South West Zonal Coordinator, urged all Nigerians to be cautious of the delicate season, stressing that negligence or unsafe practices could lead to immense losses.

“The transiting season of dry season to wet season has always been very critical and dangerous in all years due to negligence or unsafe practices,” Mr Farinloye noted.
