The 4-storey building accommodating Art faculty, Yaba
College of Technology (YABATECH), gutted by fire around 10:00 am on Saturday September
28, 2013 and before officials of the Lagos State Fire Service could put out the
fire, the first floor of the building has been burnt as valuables worth
millions of naira were lost in the inferno.
It was not clear what led to the fire, but
unconfirmed source says it may be as a result of excessive heat emanating from
the stored materials on the ground floor of the building.
The school’s in-house fire service was said to have
begun the process of putting out the fire, when it was beyond them, they called
the fire service around 10:38 am after the monthly environmental sanitation
exercise.
Part of the building was broken to gain access to
the fire, which was able to be put off in 50 minutes.
