Six-Month-Old Baby Saved from House Fire in Ogbomoso North

Six-Month-Old Baby Saved from House Fire in Ogbomoso North

On Saturday night, the Oyo State Fire Service received a distress call about a fire at a private residence in Olomi Compound, Ogbomoso North. Firefighters led by PFS II Oluwaleye arrived promptly to tackle the blaze. The ground floor of the one-storey building, which comprises three rooms, was engulfed in flames. The crew extinguished the fire quickly and prevented it from spreading to the upper floor and neighboring homes. A six-month-old baby was rescued alive from the inferno. The Special Adviser on Fire Reform attributed the outbreak to an unattended gas leak. Fire officials also conducted a brief safety session, urging regular inspection and proper installation of LPG cylinders and gas appliances.

While it's great that the baby survived, it's worrying that private residences still lack basic fire prevention measures.
