The Osun Fire Service on Tuesday said it recorded 121 fire outbreaks in the state between January and November.
Mr Adekunle Ibrahim, the Staff Officer of the Service, announced this in Osogbo while speaking with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on fire outbreak, prevention and control.
Ibrahim said the figure was, however, lower than the figure recorded in the same period in 2016 involving 152 cases.
He attributed the drop to the intensive, continuous campaign and sensitisation by the service and the state government Special Fire Safety Committee.
He said the service was doing its best to reduce and bring fire disasters to the barest minimum.
He attributed the fires recorded to human errors, carelessness and flammable objects (most especially electrical equipment).
He advised people to be very careful with electrical appliances and always disconnect them from power source when they were not in use.
“The only language fire understands is prevention.
