Firefighters of the state fire service battled to save the fire from spreading having affected nine rooms out of the 40 rooms in the compound.<\/p>\n

According to the spokesman of the state fire service, Hassan Adekunle in Ilorin on Friday, \u201cupon arrival, the firefighters were met with a daunting challenge. But with their training, skill, and unwavering dedication, they battled the blaze with unrelenting fury.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fire was finally brought under control at 03:42 hours, a testament to the crew\u2019s unyielding spirit and professionalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigations revealed a sobering truth, a careless mistake had sparked the disaster. A resident had failed to properly extinguish a charcoal fire used for cooking dinner the previous night, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake,\u201d the spokesman added.<\/p>\n

Director of the state fire service, Prince Falade John Olumuyiwa, who was visibly moved by the incident said, \u201cthis avoidable tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the importance of fire safety and awareness.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us all learn from this and remain vigilant in our daily lives,\u201d he stated, asserting that \u201cIn the face of danger, the firefighters stood tall, their heroism a beacon of hope in the darkness.
