“The
generator ignited in the process and the person fueling the generator threw the
fuel to the building opposite, causing the fire to escalate.

about fifteen (15) buildings out of which six (6) had collapsed. No casualties
or mortality recorded so far.
“Efforts are still ongoing to put
out the fire as it has been localized and fire engines positioned at strategic
