Fire guts Anambra’s mechanic workshop
Fire on Sunday gutted a mechanic workshop along Onitsha-Enugu Expressway, opposite Building Materials International Market in Ogidi, Anambra.
The Anambra Fire Service said this in a statement signed by its director, Martin Agbili, on Monday.
According to the statement, at about 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, the service received a distress call at a mechanic workshop between Bakery Market and UBA on Onitsha-Enugu Expressway.
“We immediately deployed our two fire trucks and our brave firefighters to the scene. We fought, controlled and extinguished the fire. We prevented the fire from entering the bank or the bakery market.
“Athough some of the trucks (parked in the workshop) were burnt, the situation was put to a control,” said the Anambra fire service.
It said the cause of the fire was unknown.
No life was lost.
