The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) on Sunday said there was no casualties recorded following the fire that gutted the Ketu plank market in Lagos State.
The agency through its DG, Dr Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, though, noted that the fire started from one part of the market, and goods were destroyed, but no life was lost and no one was injured in the incident.
Oke-Osanyintolu added that emergency responders comprising the LASEMA team and the Lagos State Fire Service have put out the raging inferno.
Explaining further, the LASEMA boss said a trailer that was caught up in the inferno has also been evacuated from the road to a layby.
LASEMA, however urged members of the public to exercise caution at all times especially when dealing with heavy-duty equipment or machinery.
